Age is associated with the time preference revealed, but not risk aversion is revealed; ii. Women are more risk averse, and iii. The fact that they have come to the village in the last five years, whether looking for economic opportunities or fleeing armed conflict, the revealing of a high temporal preference and a low risk aversion.
