Is There a Risk-Return Trade-Off across Occupations? Evidence from Spain We use data from Spain to test for an effect of earnings risk and skewness on individual wages.

These results are in conformity with preferences of risk-averse individuals with decreasing absolute risk aversion. JEL Classification: J3, D8
