Abstract We examine the influence of genetics on economic risk preferences by administering a measure these to monozygotic (MZ) (i.e., identical) and dizygotic (DZ) non‐identical) twin pairs. Our analysis supports dominant genetic effect virtually no additive preferences, with heritability estimated at 0.63. These findings suggest that over half variation in such can be explained factors, remainder variance environmental influences not shared among sibling twins. discuss implications our for...
