We postulate that the detailed nature of this data may be used to predict outcomes in seemingly unrelated domains such as individual health. We build a series of machine learning models to demonstrate that credit report data can be used to predict individual mortality. Variable groups related to credit cards and various loans, mostly unsecured loans, are shown to carry significant predictive power. Lags of these variables are also significant thus indicating that dynamics also matters. Improved mortality predictions based on consumer finance data can have important economic implications in insurance markets but may also raise privacy concerns.</p>","PeriodicalId":100529,"journal":{"name":"FINANCIAL PLANNING REVIEW","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77585889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results also indicate that financial responsibility, mediated by cohabiting relationship status, was negatively associated with relationship satisfaction and life satisfaction of emerging adults. All relationship categories were positively associated with well-being when compared with the reference group of emerging adults who were single and not in a relationship. The study also found that being African Americans or other racial-ethnic minority groups was negatively associated with life satisfaction, thus indicating a greater need for programs and policies to bridge the gap in perceived well-being that currently exists between Non-Hispanic Whites and other racial-ethnic minority groups.

More specifically we explored the research question: what are the characteristics of CFP professionals who have violated established ethical standards regarding fee-only, fee-based, and commission fee structures from 2009 to 2020 according to the theory of fraudulent ethical behavior? A thematic analysis was used to compare cases in which CFP certificants incorrectly characterized their compensation structure (<i>n</i> = 23). Four themes emerged: practitioner characteristics, firm characteristics, payment characteristics, and culpability. Each theme was examined under the fraud pentagon's theoretical framework (Crowe, 2011). Several interesting findings emerged from the study, including tenured professionals representing a larger proportion of planners who committed ethics violations than previous research would suggest. In addition, there appeared to be difficulties understanding the fee-only structure when working under certain licenses or firm structures. These findings support the need to maintain public disclosure of fee-structure for consumers, highlights the importance of educating consumers on the differences between compensation types, and reinforces the need for continued education for CFP professionals to stay abreast of compliance matters.</p>","PeriodicalId":100529,"journal":{"name":"FINANCIAL PLANNING REVIEW","volume":"4 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81680243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They also completed a financial literacy questionnaire which had two factors. The internal reliability of the four money factors was satisfactory but this was not the case for all the facets. Factor analysis partly confirmed the hypothesized structure. Regressions indicated that associating money with power was the best predictor of financial literacy.
