Individual Risk Attitudes: New Evidence from a Large, Representative, Experimentally-Validated Survey (2005, unknown): “…papers have investigated the impact of parental background on risk attitudes, with the exception of Guiso and Paiella (2001), and Guiso and Paiella (2005), who look at father’s occupation (Hartog et al., 2002, finds a similar impact of mother’s education in a sample composed of accountants).”
A parameter-free analysis of the utility of money for the general population under prospect theory (2009, background): “However, this result contradicts the conclusion of many classical studies that ascribe gender differences in risky attitudes solely to differences in the degree of utility curvature (Barsky et al., 1997; Cohen & Einav, 2007; Hartog et al., 2002).”
Gender, Risk, and Venture Creation Intentions (2015, background): “Evidence from multivariate regression analyses, which attempt to control for a range of demographic and other co-varying characteristics, provides much stronger support that entrepreneurs are less risk averse (Hartog et al., 2002; Ekelund et al. 2005; Brown et al, 2006; Brown et al, 2011).”
Men, Women and Risk Aversion: Experimental Evidence (2008, background): “In three separate surveys, Hartog, Ferrer-i-Carbonell, and Jonker (2002) elicit hypothetical willingness to pay for a series of high-stakes lotteries.”
Public Sector Employees: Risk Averse and Altruistic? (2012, background): “9The results for the control variables are close to those of Hartog et al. (2002) and Dohmen et al. (2009), except for the effect of education, which is positive in these earlier studies.”
Determinants of risk behaviour: effects of perceived risks and risk attitude on farmer’s adoption of risk management strategies (2016, background): “…negative, i.e. higher educated decision-makers are more risk averse (Bar-Shira, Just, and Zilberman 1997; Harrison, Lau, and Rutström 2007) and positive, i.e. more willingness to take risk with increasing level of education (Hartog, Ferrer-i-Carbonell, and Jonker 2002; Moscardi and Janvry 1977).”
Investors’ trading activity: A behavioural perspective and empirical results (2011, background): “Roszkowski (1998) and Hartog et al. (2002) assume that single, rather than married, individuals tend to be more risk tolerant.”
Are People Inequality-Averse, or Just Risk-Averse? (2001, unknown): “The former finding supports the results of Jianakoplos and Bernasek (1998) and Hartog et al. (2002), who also found that women tend to be more risk-averse.”
Native-migrant differences in risk attitudes (2006, unknown): “These results are in line with Hartog et al. (2002), DeLeire and Levy (2004), Dohmen et al. (2005) and Frederick (2005).”
