“…Empirical estimates of relative risk aversion span a wide range, with minimum values around one and many estimates larger than five (Barseghyan et al 2018 ). However, the conclusion that the income elasticity exceeds the coefficient of relative risk aversion does not hold in a richer model in which labor hours and income can be varied or there is a sufficient degree of complementarity between consumption and labor (Evans and Smith 2010 ).…”

“…Other studies of this relationship along similar lines includeEeckhoudt and Hammitt (2001) andEvans and Smith (2010). The latter paper shows that with more complex and more realistic models the relationship between the income elasticity of VSL, and the coefficient of relative risk aversion becomes less clear cut.…”

“…Otras situaciones más habituales son la interpretación de un diagnóstico médico o la decisión de contratar un seguro de vida o accidentes. En estas circunstancias, es importante comprender la información probabilística relacionada con la situación para tomar decisiones que pueden afectar nuestra salud, economía, bienestar familiar o psicológico o colaborar con las decisiones tomadas por otros (Evans, 2015;Gigerenzer, 2002).…”

“…En situaciones sencillas, se deben identificar el tipo de probabilidades que intervienen (simples, compuestas o condicionales), la mejor forma de asignarlas (clásica, frecuencial o subjetiva), y calcularlas o estimarlas. Evans (2015) denomina inteligencia sobre riesgos a la habilidad para estimar correctamente las probabilidades que Educ. Matem.…”
