Parental background and other-regarding preferences in children (2014, background): “Researchers have also studied the development of other types of preferences: risk aversion (Eckel et al. 2011; Sutter et al. 2013), time discounting (Bettinger and Slonim 2007; Sutter et al. 2013), and trust (Harbaugh et al. 2003b; Sutter and Kocher 2007).”
Behavioral Economics of Education: Progress and Possibilities (2015, unknown): “Bettinger and Slonim (2007) also find that more than 25 percent of children choose options inconsistent with any type of rational behavior, but that these irrational choices were less likely to occur among older children.”
