Environmental Adaptation of Risk Preferences

Salvatore Di Falco et al.

Summary: This study investigates the risk preferences of subsistence farmers in Ethiopia and their adaptation to rainfall shocks. The findings show that rainfall shocks decrease risk tolerance over time for the same individuals. Additionally, historical rainfall characteristics and geographical features explain 40% of the variation in preferences across individuals. The time-changing effects are in line with the geographical effects, providing real-world evidence that preferences may systematically adapt to the environment of the decision maker.

Are risk preferences explaining gender differences in investment behavior?

Stein T. Holden et al.

Summary: We analyzed the investment behavior of 822 young men and women in 111 formal business groups in northern Ethiopia. Our findings show that, on average, women invest less than men at an individual level, but the gender difference is moderate. Women exhibit higher risk aversion, more sensitivity to losses, and greater optimism in their expectations. They also have lower non-land assets, come from more land-poor backgrounds, and have lower incomes. The gender differences in risk attitudes and baseline endowments could explain some, but not all, of the differences in investment behavior.
