Using household-level data, we investigate the role of expected inflation, which should guide optimal mortgage choices. However, we find that low socioeconomic status (SES) borrowers disproportionately rely on current (easily available) inflation rather than inflation expectations. In contrast, financially literate borrowers—from higher SES groups—are better equipped to overcome cognitive biases and base their decisions on expected inflation. This divergence leads low-SES borrowers to systematically anchor their choices to current inflation, often resulting in suboptimal mortgage selection. A unique aspect of our setting is the absence of financial advisors, ensuring that observed decisions reflect borrowers’ own financial literacy and cognitive processing. Our findings emphasize the role of financial literacy in mitigating cognitive biases and promoting better financial decision-making. Expanding financial education initiatives could help low-SES borrowers make more informed mortgage choices, reducing costly selection errors and improving long-term financial stability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 101077"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144298116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its potential, challenges such as consumer trust, acceptance of algorithmic decision-making, and ethical considerations raise questions about how AI will shape the role of intermediaries in influencing insurance decisions. This study investigates the impact of insurance intermediaries (human vs. AI) on insurance purchasing behaviors through an intertemporal consumption decision experiment involving the option to purchase insurance for unexpected expenses. By varying the availability of insurance and types of intermediaries across experimental treatments, we first establish two fundamental findings: (1) insurance smooths consumption and enhances lifetime utility, and (2) both human and AI intermediaries significantly promote insurance uptake. Contrary to our expectations, the experimental results reveal no overall difference in effectiveness between human and AI intermediaries. However, a heterogeneity analysis using causal tree algorithms highlights critical nuances: individuals with higher risk aversion exhibit a stronger trust in human intermediaries, leading to higher insurance purchase rates, whereas individuals with lower risk aversion show no significant trust differences between human and AI intermediaries. These findings provide actionable insights for insurance companies, emphasizing the need for strategies tailored to high-risk-averse consumers' preference for human guidance, while leveraging AI's potential to effectively engage low-risk-averse individuals. This study contributes to understanding the interplay between AI, trust, and consumer behavior, offering valuable implications for the design of AI-powered insurance services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47026,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance","volume":"47 ","pages":"Article 101096"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144867284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also found a significant indirect effect of FRP on the relationship between RSFC and willingness to take risks in investment and career domains for females, but not for males.
