TeensLab

TeensLab is a consortium of universities from different regions, mainly Spain.We study economic behavior among adolescents. In particular, we are interested in cognitive abilities, creativity, consistency, networks, strategic behavior and risk & time preferences. This project provides a database of teenagers from 33 different educational centers in Spain. We elicited 5,890 observations of students from 10 to 23 years old, in different educational stages (elementary, high school, sixth form and vocational training). Both the collection process and the available variables on economic preferences and abilities are described.
