We study the joint distribution of 11 behavioral phenomena in a group of 190 laboratory subjects and compare it to the predictions of existing models as a step in the development of a parsimonious, general model of economic choice. We find strong correlations between most measures of risk and time preference, between compound lottery and ambiguity aversion, and between loss aversion and the endowment effect. Our results support some, but not all attempts to unify behavioral economic phenomena. Overconfidence and gender are also predictive of some behavioral characteristics.
我们研究了 190 名实验室被试者的 11 种行为现象的联合分布，并将其与现有模型的预测结果进行了比较，这是开发简约、通用的经济选择模型的一个步骤。我们发现，大多数风险和时间偏好指标之间、复合彩票和模糊厌恶之间以及损失厌恶和禀赋效应之间存在很强的相关性。我们的结果支持但并非所有试图统一行为经济学现象的尝试。过度自信和性别也可以预测某些行为特征。
