| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis we investigate how an exogenous wealth shock in the form of an
unexpected inheritance or gift affects individuals' self-reported willingness to take
risks. We apply a quasi fixed effects ordered probit model using the large panel data
set from the German Socio-economic Panel (SOEP), which enables us to control
for observed and unobserved individual characteristics. Our results suggest that an
unexpected wealth shock affects willingness to take risks negatively. Furthermore,
these findings contradict the assumption of constant relative risk aversion. | sv |
