Abstract: This paper discusses the recent literature on the relationship between cognitive ability and decision making under risk and uncertainty. After clarifying some important distinctions between concepts and measurement of risk preference and cognitive ability, we take stock of what is known empirically on the connections between cognitive ability and measured risk preferences. We conclude by discussing perspectives for future research.
