abstract="Previous research has indicated that individual compensating behavior, specifically, more risky driving may reduce the effectiveness of seat belt laws. We test the compensating-behavior hypothesis using individual-specific survey data. The analysis also incorporates individual risk tastes. Our results indicate that the compensating-behavior hypothesis applies only to those that are not strongly risk averse. Other risk-differentiated groups do not exhibit compensating behavior. Finally, it seems that individuals learn to reduce compensating behavior over time.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
