Abstract

El riesgo y el tiempo constituyen elementos centrales en el análisis económico, sobre los cuales típicamente se establecen supuestos predefinidos. Amplia evidencia experimental demuestra que estas preferencias no son exógenas, de modo que su heterogeneidad merece ser considerada en la modelización del comportamiento. Este artículo presenta evidencia con respecto a los factores determinantes y el grado de correlación de las preferencias individuales en ambos dominios: el riesgo y el tiempo, en un contexto de países en vías de desarrollo. El análisis involucra mecanismos experimentales de elicitación de preferencias, con constructos psicológicos y medidas autorreportadas. ****** Risk and time are transversal elements in the economic analysis, over which specific predefined assumptions are determined. On the contrary, extensive experimental evidence shows that these preferences are not exogenous, and their heterogeneity deserves to be determined in the modelling of behaviour. This paper presents evidence regarding the determinants of individual preferences in both domains: risk and time, in a context of developing countries. The analysis involves experimental mechanisms to elicit preferences with psychological constructs and self-reported measures. ****** O risco e o tempo sao elementos centrais na análise economica, sobre a qual normalmente sao feitas suposicoes predefinidas.
