摘要: Three societies, namely the hunter-gatherer, agrarian and industrial, represent course of human history cultural economic development. In this course, each society exhibits distinct cultures daily life practices that shape behaviors preferences, characterizing temporal actions consequences at individual group levels. We examine time preferences their relation across three societies. To end, we conduct a field experiment to elicit discount factors in societies Indonesia—(i) fisheries, (ii) farming (iii) urban societies—as proxies industrial respectively. find both are lowest (highest) fisheries (agrarian) society, while those middle. also observe determinants differ societies: members middle play an important role determining factor only with key Overall, our results suggest non-monotonically change as transition from comparatively shortsighted people (the middle) more influential than farsighted preferences.
