Abstract:
The vast majority of studies examining the relation between time preferences and health behavior have applied a measure of preferences in the financial rather than in the health domain. Most studies find a small but significant correlation. If time preferences for health and money are not the same, this can have substantial consequences for the reliability of these results. In the present paper, we set out to examine potential differences in time preferences between the two domains – money and health.
