SUMMARY:Cognitive Abilities and Economic Preferences: Evidence from Genetic and Behavioral Data
DESCRIPTION:11:00 to 12:00 // An influential body of economic literature has consistently shown strong associations between cognitive abilities and economic preferences. However, much of this research has overlooked the potential endogeneity of cognitive abilities - an oversight given that these abilities stem from a series of investment decisions influenced by factors likely correlated with economic preferences. To address this gap, we utilize a novel dataset that includes both stated and revealed preferences, along with genetic data on respondents. We measure inherent predispositions to high cognitive abilities using a polygenic score for cognitive performance (PGI CP), providing a robust proxy for individuals’ innate cognitive potential. Our comprehensive data further allow us to mitigate concerns that individuals with a genetic disposition for high cognitive performance are also raised in more favorable environments.
