Working Paper
A literature review on the effectiveness of financial education
Martin, Matthew (2007)
This survey summarizes current research on financial literacy efforts.

Delivery of financial literacy programs
Rhine, Sherrie L. W.; Toussaint-Comeau, Maude (2000)

Does Salient Financial Information Affect Academic Performance and Borrowing Behavior among College Students?
Schmeiser, Maximilian D.; Stoddard, Christiana; Urban, Carly (2015-09-10)
While rising student loan debt can plague college students future finances, few federal programs have been instituted to educate college students on the mechanics of student loan borrowing. This paper exploits a natural experiment in which some students received "Know Your Debt" letters with incentivized offers for one-on-one financial counseling. Montana State University students who reached a specific debt threshold received these letters; University of Montana students did not. We use a difference-in-difference-in-differences strategy to compare students above and below the thresholds ...

The other topic is the efficacy of financial literacy on improving the overall financial well-being of individuals. A study by Annamaria Lusardi and Carlo de Bassa Scheresberg explores the characteristics of those who use high-cost borrowing and the influence of financial literacy on their borrowing behavior.1 The following ...
