时间彩票中的风险偏好

Risk Preferences in Time Lotteries

Yonatan Berman, Mark Kirstein

摘要:

经济学中一个重要但研究不足的问题是,当人们面临事件发生时间的不确定性时,他们如何选择。在这里,我们研究的偏好时间彩票,其中支付金额是确定的,但支付时间是不确定的。预期折扣效用理论(EDUT)预测决策者在时间彩票上寻求风险。我们探索了一个增长最优的规范模型,在这个模型中,决策者最大限度地提高他们财富的长期增长率。重新审视关于时间彩票的实验证据,我们发现增长最优性比EDUT更符合证据。我们概述了未来的实验,以进一步审查增长最优的可扩展性。

英文摘要:

An important but understudied question in economics is how people choose when facing uncertainty in the timing of events. Here we study preferences over time lotteries, in which the payment amount is certain but the payment time is uncertain. Expected discounted utility theory (EDUT) predicts decision makers to be risk-seeking over time lotteries. We explore a normative model of growth-optimality, in which decision makers maximise the long-term growth rate of their wealth. Revisiting experimental evidence on time lotteries, we find that growth-optimality accords better with the evidence than EDUT. We outline future experiments to scrutinise further the plausibility of growth-optimality.
