Abstract

Financial education can influence the level of financial literacy. In each country, political incentives can shape financial education policies. Political activism in financial education can be motivated by concerns over financial instability. This theoretical relationship is empirically validated applying text analysis. By using financial education narratives as a proxy for political activism among European Parliament politicians from 1997 to 2024, we test whether financial instability cases matter in explaining political activism in financial education.

欧洲政治家和金融扫盲活动：金融（不）稳定重要吗？

金融教育可以影响金融知识水平。在每个国家，政治动机都会影响金融教育政策。对金融不稳定性的担忧可能是推动金融教育的政治动机。这一理论关系通过文本分析得到了实证验证。通过将金融教育叙事作为 1997 年至 2024 年欧洲议会政治家政治积极性的代表，我们检验了金融不稳定性案例是否有助于解释金融教育中的政治积极性。

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
