Abstract: It's often claimed that 'men are from mars and women are from Venus'. among other dissimilarities, men and women exhibit different patterns in risk-taking behaviour such as driving and economic decisionmaking: men tend to drive faster and invest more in risky financial assets than women do. Ben Jacobsen, John Lee and Wessel Marquering examine possible explanations for these phenomena.
