| Abstract: | | This paper questions the perceived wisdom that migrants are more risk-loving than the native population. We employ a new large German survey of direct individual risk measures to find that first-generation migrants have lower risk attitudes than natives, which only equalize in the second generation. |
| Subjects: | | Risk attitudes ethnicity native-migrant differences gender differences second-generation effects |
