Fessler, Pirmin; Hsu, Joanne W.; http://fedora:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/authors/; http://fedora:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/authors/ (2020-01-16)
We employ recent Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) microdata from the US to analyze the impacts of confidence in one’s own financial knowledge, confidence in the economy, and objective financial literacy on investment in risky financial assets (equity and bonds) on both the extensive and intensive margins. Controlling for a rich set of covariates including risk aversion, we find that objective financial literacy is positively related to investment in risky assets as well as debt securities.

Ways to work: putting working families behind the wheel and heading toward a stronger financial future
Waldron, Tom (2007-05)
The demand for cars is strong in many areas of the country where public transportation fails to meet the needs of working families. Long commutes make it hard to get to work on time and take workers away from their families and homes.

Paying Too Much? Price Dispersion in the U.S. Mortgage Market
Bhutta, Neil; Fuster, Andreas; Hizmo, Aurel (2020-08-21)
We document wide dispersion in the mortgage rates that households pay on identical loans, and show that borrowers' financial sophistication is an important determinant of the rates obtained. We estimate a gap between the 10th and 90th percentile mortgage rate that borrowers with the same characteristics obtain for identical loans, in the same market, on the same day, of 54 basis points|equivalent to about $6,500 in upfront costs (points) for the average loan. Time-invariant lender attributes explain little of this rate dispersion, and considerable dispersion remains even within loan officer. ...

Moving from unbanked to banked: evidence from the Money Smart program
Lyons, Angela C.; Scherpf, Erik (2005)
Using data collected from participants of the FDIC?s Money Smart program, this study investigates the impact that financial education has on an individual?s decision to move from unbanked to banked. To date, most programs and initiatives that target the unbanked define program impact by the number of bank accounts opened.
