How motivations and costs affect financial knowledge learning? Evidence from a large-scale FinTech experiment in China
Utilizing the launch of mobile wealth management services in China in 2013 as a shock to financial education, we analyze a panel of 16,440 households through a difference-in-differences strategy to examine how learning motivations and costs affect financial knowledge learning. Results show that using mobile services encourages risky asset holdings and enhances the self-discipline to learn, which, coupled with low-cost and personalized learning tools provided through the services, increases financial knowledge. We contribute by utilizing a large-scale experiment beyond the classroom to show the role of learning motivations and costs in financial knowledge learning, therefore help clear the controversy on the effectiveness of financial education.
期刊介绍:
The China Economic Review publishes original works of scholarship which add to the knowledge of the economy of China and to economies as a discipline. We seek, in particular, papers dealing with policy, performance and institutional change. Empirical papers normally use a formal model, a data set, and standard statistical techniques. Submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review.
