Risk Preferences are Not Time Preferences: Comment [PDF]
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.

Managers’ risk and time preferences in economic behavior: Review from the experiments
This survey reviews the recent developments in experimental studies on managers’ preferences, with a focus on issues of experimental design. We concentrate our attention on studies that measure risk and time preferences.

Preference reversals: Time and again [PDF]
This paper sheds new light on the preference reversal phenomenon by analyzing decision times in the choice task. In a first experiment, we replicated the standard reversal pattern and found that choices associated with reversals take significantly longer than non-reversals, and non-reversal choices take longer whenever long-shot lotteries are selected.

Different domains – Different time preferences? [PDF]
The vast majority of studies examining the relation between time preferences and health behavior have applied a measure of preferences in the financial rather than in the health domain. Most studies find a small but significant correlation. If time preferences for health and money are not the same, this can have substantial consequences for the ...

Time preference, time discounting, and smoking decisions [PDF]
This study examines the relationship between time discounting, other sources of time preference, and choices about smoking. Using a survey fielded for our analysis, we elicit rates of time discount from choices in financial and health domains. We also examine the relationship between other determinants of time preference and smoking status.

How to measure time preferences: An experimental comparison of three methods [PDF]
In two studies, time preferences for financial gains and losses at delays of up to 50 years were elicited using three different methods: matching, fixed-sequence choice titration, and a dynamic ``staircase'' choice method.

The impact of agency on time and risk preferences
Scholars have long argued for the central role of agency—the size of one’s opportunity set—in the human experience, but there has been little work on how a sense of agency affects behavior.

Many professional and educational settings require individuals to be willing and able to perform under time pressure. We use a laboratory experiment and survey data to study preferences for working under time pressure. We make three main contributions.

Risk Preferences Are Not Time Preferences [PDF]
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.
