Notes: Specification (1): joint estimation of HORA, SURE model. ***p < 0.01, **p < 0.05, *p < 0.1. Atanrho coefficients represent the transformed (arc-tangent), unbounded correlation coefficient of a pair of equations (Roodman, 2011). Specification (2): ordered probit estimation of the individual response to the risk taking variable ‘How do you see yourself: are you generally a person who is fully prepared to take risks or do you try to avoid taking risks?’. Takes the value 1 if ‘very willing to take risks’ and the value 10 if ‘not at all willing to take risks’. Coefficients are presented as log-odds. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Socioeconomic controls include the variables Table 3: (low) income, education, health, marital status, age, regions in the USA, gender, race and ethnicity, children in the household, home ownership, and credit card ownership.
