dc.description.abstract
We replicate Shaw (1996) who found that individual wage growth is higher for
individuals with greater preference for risk taking. Expanding her dataset with more
American observations and data for Germany, Spain and Italy, we find mixed support
for the earlier results. We present and estimate a new model and find that in particular
the wage level is sensitive to attitudes towards risk taking.
