摘要：This paper contributes to the debate about the relationship between cognitive ability and economic preferences. We
employ both national representative survey data and experimental data, and apply different elicitation procedures for
risk and time preferences in a developing country, Mexico. Our findings are based on three different samples—adult
and adolescent survey data, and experimental data for young adults—and a total of 13 tests, two with monetary
incentives and the rest without these incentives. Our results show no statistically significant relationship between
cognitive ability and economic preferences using different elicitation procedures with three different samples.
