The paper is based on the acknowledgement that properties of markets stemming from features of demand are too frequently overlooked in the economic literature, and a re-balancing is necessary to properly account for theoretical and empirical phenomena. We sustain that one of the most relevant...

I investigate how students from different cultures form risk-sharing networks when they come to study at university …, and how these network structures affect risk attitudes in different contexts. Using an online survey, I find that students … from collectivist cultures such as China form larger financial risk-sharing networks at university than students from …
