Abstract

Financial literacy is shown to influence investment decisions in different ways. One possible influence is that a lack of understanding of financial risk causes a negative risk attitude with the consequence for optimal investment behaviour that the positive relation between risk and return is not properly taken into account. The authors analyse data (n = 1150) collected in 2015 from three European countries (Italy, Sweden, and Spain) to test whether people with a low financial literacy have a negative risk attitude. The results confirm that survey respondents low in financial literacy on average rate their risk attitude more negative than more financial literate respondents do.
