Experimental elicitation methods of risk and time preferences in a large representative sample. Cross, temporal and external validity

We conduct “artefactual” field experiments to incorporate experimental elicitation methods for risk and time preferences within the Innovation Panel (IP) of the UK Household Longitudinal Survey (UKHLS). We randomly allocate to the experimental modules a nationally representative sample of about 700 adults to the IP Wave 6 (IP6) who complete the incentive-compatible tasks and also provide a self-assessment of their attitudes by responding to standard survey questions. The same measures are repeated one year later. This design allows us to test the cross-validity (stability across alternative elicitation methods), temporal stability, and external validity (by considering their predictive power in terms of actual behaviours in the health and financial domains) of the measures.
