I generalize the long-run risks (LRR) model of Bansal and Yaron (2004) by incorporating recursive smooth ambiguity aversion preferences from Klibanoff et al. (2005, 2009) and time-varying ambiguity. Relative to the Bansal-Yaron model, the generalized LRR model is as tractable but more flexible...

This paper estimates time preference parameters using commonly-applied methodologies, with the aim of investigating the link between these measures and actual economic behaviour. An experiment was conducted in the city of Thies, in Senegal, using the unique reference numbers of banknotes as a...

Macroeconomic expectations of various economic agents are characterized by substantial crosssectional heterogeneity.

We present new evidence on the relationship between health behaviors and experimental measures of risk and time preferences and introduce evidence that perceived control - a measure incorporated from the health psychology literature - is a stronger and more consistent predictor of health...
