An experiment is designed to study the consistency of risk preferences over lotteries that are resolved and paid in the present and in the future. The results show that a substantial fraction of subjects (38.6%) exhibit a level of risk aversion that is greater for lotteries resolved and paid in the present than in the future. Additional treatments suggest that the effect is not specific to gambles that are realized immediately, nor is due to steep discounting of future payoffs. Statistical analysis shows that a significant number of subjects who are risk neutral for the current lotteries are more risk tolerant if the lotteries are revealed and received in the future. On the basis of my data, a conjecture is advanced that risk tolerance increases the farther in the future the gamble is realized. Moreover, the statistical analysis also shows that changes of risk tolerance and the absolute levels of risk preference over different times for lottery outcomes to be revealed are not significantly different among genders, citizenships and races.Subjects--Topical Terms:
