Replication data for: Credit Constraints and the Measurement of Time Preferences

This file contains the replication data and analysis files for the article \"Credit Constraints and the Measurement of Time Preferences\" by Mark Dean and Anja Sautmann. Abstract: Incentivized experiments are often used to identify the time preferences of households in developing countries. We argue theoretically and empirically that experimental measures may not identify preference parameters, but are a useful tool for understanding financial shocks and constraints. Using data from an experiment in Mali we find that subject responses vary with savings and financial shocks, meaning they provide information about credit constraints and can be used to test models of risk sharing.本文件包含马克·迪恩（Mark Dean）与安雅·绍特曼（Anja Sautmann）所撰论文《信贷约束与时间偏好测度》（Credit Constraints and the Measurement of Time Preferences）的复刻数据与分析文件。摘要：激励实验（incentivized experiments）常被用于识别发展中国家家庭的时间偏好（time preferences）。本文从理论与实证双重维度论证：实验测度或无法精准识别偏好参数（preference parameters），但却是理解金融冲击（financial shocks）与信贷约束（credit constraints）的有效工具。基于马里某实验的采集数据，本文发现受试者的响应会随储蓄水平与金融冲击发生变化，这表明该实验测度能够提供信贷约束相关信息，且可用于检验风险分担（risk sharing）模型。
