Aversión al riesgo, preferencia temporal y variables socioeconómicas: evidencia de un pueblo de Colombia

En este artículo presento evidencia exploratoria para el caso de Colombia sobre la relación entre ciertas variables socioeconómicas e indicadores de preferencias individuales. Aplicamos una encuesta de hogares y tomamos medidas de preferencia temporal y aversión al riesgo a una muestra de habitantes de Barranca de Upía (Meta). Encuentro que i. La edad está asociada con la preferencia temporal revelada, pero no a la aversión al riesgo revelada; ii. Las mujeres son más aversas al riesgo, y iii. El hecho de haber llegado al pueblo en los últimos cinco años, bien sea buscando oportunidades económicas o huyendo del conflicto armado, está asociado a una alta preferencia temporal revelada y una baja aversión al riesgo revelada.

Risk aversion, temporal preference, and socioeconomic variables: evidence from a Colombian people
This is a Colombian case study which demonstrates the relationship. We applied a household survey and took measures of temporary preference and risk aversion to a sample of inhabitants of Barranca de Upía (Meta). I f¡nd that i. Age is associated with the time preference revealed, but not risk aversion is revealed; ii. Women are more risk averse, and iii. The fact that they have come to the village in the last f¡ve years, whether looking for economic opportunities or fleeing armed conflict, the revealing of a high temporal preference and a low risk aversion.
