          Abstract

          Resumo As preferências ao risco e tempo são fatores importantes que auxiliam entender a dinâmica do comportamento humano para tomada de decisões. Este estudo teve como objetivo replicar um experimento baseado nas formas funcionais derivadas da Teoria do Prospecto em uma amostra composta por universitários brasileiros, analisando em profundidade com 110 perguntas (2.420 observações), e estimando por máxima verossimilhança os parâmetros de risco e tempo. Foi utilizado o modelo sugerido por Harrison, (2008) e Andersen et al. (2008), o SMPL (Switching Multiple Price List), com a teoria do desconto hiperbólico e a função de máxima verossimilhança. Os resultados apontaram que os respondentes apresentam comportamento assimétrico em relação a ganhos e perdas. Também foi possível observar que a taxa de desconto encontrada (diária) no experimento equivale a uma taxa de desconto anual de 44,0%, consideravelmente alta, resultado que pode ser atribuído ao chamado “efeito magnitude” em investimentos.

          Abstract Risk and time preferences are essential factors that help to understand the dynamics of human behavior for decision-making. This study aimed to replicate decision-making based on the functional forms derived from the Prospectus Theory in a sample of Brazilian university students with an in-depth analysis with 110 questions (resulting in 2,420 observations), estimating the parameters of risk and time preferences by the maximum likelihood method. We use the model suggested by Harrison, (2008) and Andersen et al. (2008), with the SMPL (Switching Multiple Price Lists), with the theory of hyperbolic discount and the maximum likelihood function. The results showed that the respondents present an asymmetric behavior concerning gains and losses. It was also possible to observe that the discount rate found (daily) in the experiment corresponds to an annual discount rate of 44.0%, considerably high, a result that can be attributed to the so-called 'magnitude effect' in investments.
