传统经济学家认为, 时间就是金钱, 而近年来的一些研究却发现了与之不同的结论。后续的研究者主要从损失和受益时的风险偏好和决策依据、沉没成本效应、心理账户和禀赋效应这四个方面对时间和金钱进行比较, 但是这方面的研究还处于起步阶段, 还有许多问题需要在以后的研究中深入探讨。未来的研究应对时间是否存在损失规避和敏感性递减、时间的沉没成本效应和时间的禀赋效应的形成机制等问题进行探讨。

Traditional economists suggested that time is money, while a number of studies have found the different conclusions over the past years. This paper first systematically compares time with money in behavioral decision making, such as risk preference of losses and gains, sunk cost effect, mental accounting and endowment effect. However, research concerning this topic is still in the infant stage, with more questions needing further exploration in the future. Finally, some limitations are discussed and the directions for future study are suggested.
