“Actual and self-reported risk-taking behavior of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic”
Do our expectations of behavior hold during a crisis? Risk attitudes and patterns of investor behavior have been well documented over time. However, what happens when the global community faces an unprecedented crisis such as that presented by the COVID-19 pandemic? In this research, we combine survey and real-time trading simulation data to test whether the relationship between self-reported risk-taking and actual risk-taking of university students was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
