Abstract
This study investigates effects of environmental risk on temporal discounting and risk aversion. The COVID pandemic has increased risk in everyday life. We will measure undergraduates’ temporal discounting and risk aversion via standard tasks at multiple time points. We expect less temporal discounting and risk aversion as the crisis abates.
