Claim: Uwe Sunde worked with Armin Falk and found that risk averse individuals sort themselves into occupations with low earnings risk.
Evidence: One major area of Sunde's research concerns individuals' risk attitudes, which he has extensively explored with Armin Falk, Thomas Dohmen and David Huffman. Together with Holger Bonin, they find that risk averse individuals sort themselves into occupations with low earnings risk, independently of where they live (in Germany), what gender they are or what their previous labour market experience was.
