Risk Preferences Are Not Time Preferences [PDF]
American Economic Review, 2012 Risk and time are intertwined. The present is known while the future is inherently risky. This is problematic when studying time preferences since uncontrolled risk can generate apparently present-biased behavior. We systematically manipulate risk in an intertemporal choice experiment.

Risk Preferences and Their Robust Representation [PDF]
Mathematics of Operations Research, 2010 To address the plurality of interpretations of the subjective notion of risk, we describe it by means of a risk order and concentrate on the context invariant features of diversification and monotonicity. Our main results are uniquely characterized robust representations of lower semicontinuous risk orders on vector spaces and convex sets.

Risk Preferences are Not Time Preferences: Comment [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 Andreoni and Sprenger (in press) report evidence that distinct utility functions govern choices under certainty and risk. I investigate the robustness of their result to the experimental design. I find that the effect disappears completely when a multiple price list is used instead of a convex time budget design.

Social Science Research Network, 2020 Measuring risk preferences in the field is critical for policy, however, it can be costly. For instance, the commonly used measure of Holt and Laury (2002) relies on a dozen of lottery choices and payments which makes it time-consuming and costly.
