Genetic influences on economic preferences
Cesarini, David; Dawes, Christopher T.; Johannesson, Magnus - 2007
experimentally elicited preferences for risk and giving. Using standard methods from behavior genetics, we find strong prima facie … evidence that these preferences are broadly heritable and our estimates suggest that genetic differences explain approximately … preferences, a source which has hitherto largely been neglected in the economics literature. …
