Abstract

This study examines the relationship between attitude toward risk and both net worth and income. The data are obtained from a financial diary kept by a national, scientifically selected sample of more than 3,000 households. Results show that both net worth and income are negatively related to risk aversion. Copyright 1993 by MIT Press.
