Germany’s bank-based financial system provides a high level of financial inclusion, measured by bank outreach and use of financial services. However, the most vulnerable individuals and small enterprises in Germany tend to be excluded or credit constrained. The quality of financial inclusion is impaired by a low level of financial literacy, which is also concentrated among specific population subgroups. The high level of financial inclusion can be attributed to relationship lending by public savings banks, credit cooperatives, public promotional banks, and guarantee banks using the “housebank” model, and financial consumer protection and credit reporting regulations and institutions. Programs involving microfinance institutions have been stopped. Financial inclusion of consumers with the aim of responsible finance may be improved by implementing the right to a basic bank account with an overdraft facility and protection against attachment, establishing public credit bureaus, redirecting banking regulation toward the protection of borrowers in long-term credit relationships, and strengthening financial education in schools. To foster entrepreneurship and access to funding for start-ups and innovative SMEs, entrepreneurship education and the venture capital market need to be further developed.
德国以银行为基础的金融体系提供了高水平的金融包容性,这是通过银行的扩展和金融服务的使用来衡量的。然而,德国最脆弱的个人和小企业往往被排除在外或受到信贷限制。普惠金融的质量受到金融知识水平低的影响,这也集中在特定的人口亚群中。普惠金融的高水平可归因于公共储蓄银行、信用合作社、公共推广银行和担保银行使用“家庭银行”模式的关系贷款,以及金融消费者保护和信用报告法规和制度。涉及小额信贷机构的项目已经停止。以负责任金融为目标的消费者普惠金融可以通过以下方式得到改善:落实基本银行账户的权利,提供透支便利和防止抵押,建立公共信用局,将银行监管转向保护长期信贷关系中的借款人,以及加强学校的金融教育。为促进创业和创新型中小企业获得资金,需要进一步发展创业教育和风险投资市场。

Time to Rethink the 'Sophisticated Investor' 是时候重新思考“老练的投资者”了
Pub Date : 2015-06-30 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2653399
Peter Morris
Policymakers need to change the way they think about so-called “sophisticated investors.” The way they think about these organizations now disenfranchises the millions of ordinary people these big investors represent and makes it literally impossible to hold such big investors to account. This creates a dangerous law at the heart of the way financial markets are organized. This is not just abstract musing: it is demonstrably leading to poor outcomes for the ordinary people who depend on big investors. The good news is that policymakers can make a difference by applying a simple principle to “sophisticated investors”: accountability. It need not cost a lot or involve a lot of bureaucracy. They must demand that big investors, and the fund managers they hire, disclose more to the public. What they disclose must allow (truly) independent outsiders to analyze how well the big investors have performed, including how cost-effective they are. Anyone who believes in markets knows that harnessing people’s self-interest helps to make markets work. If policymakers choose to enfranchise the rest of society, they will be doing just that. Vested interests – including much of the financial services sector, many big investors, and even some policymakers – will call this idea outlandish. Some will portray it as an attack on financial markets. Even observers with no vested interest may worry that it will damage markets or the economy or both. Nothing could be further from the truth. An 80-year-old parallel shows the way. This change in approach would help to ensure that financial markets serve society as a whole, rather than just the people who work in them.
政策制定者需要改变他们对所谓“老练投资者”的看法。他们看待这些组织的方式现在剥夺了这些大投资者所代表的数百万普通人的权利,使这些大投资者几乎不可能承担责任。这在金融市场组织方式的核心形成了一条危险的法则。这不仅仅是抽象的思考:对于依赖大投资者的普通人来说,这显然会导致糟糕的结果。好消息是,政策制定者可以通过对“老练的投资者”应用一个简单的原则来发挥作用:问责制。它不需要花费很多,也不需要涉及很多官僚主义。他们必须要求大投资者和他们雇佣的基金经理向公众披露更多信息。它们披露的信息必须允许(真正)独立的外部人士分析大型投资者的表现,包括它们的成本效益。任何相信市场的人都知道,利用人们的自身利益有助于市场运作。如果政策制定者选择让社会其他人获得选举权,他们就会这样做。既得利益集团——包括大部分金融服务部门、许多大投资者,甚至一些政策制定者——会称这种想法古怪。一些人将其描述为对金融市场的攻击。即使是没有既得利益的观察家也可能担心它会损害市场或经济,或者两者兼而有之。事实远非如此。一个80年前的类比说明了这一点。这种方法上的改变将有助于确保金融市场为整个社会服务,而不仅仅是为在其中工作的人服务。

Financial Education, Financial Competence, and Consumer Welfare 金融教育、金融能力与消费者福利
Pub Date : 2014-10-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2585219
Sandro Ambuehl, B. Bernheim, A. Lusardi
We introduce the concept of financial competence, a measure of the extent to which individuals’ financial choices align with those they would make if they properly understood their opportunity sets. Unlike existing measures of the quality of financial decision making, the concept is firmly rooted in the principles of choice-based behavioral welfare analysis; it also avoids the types of paternalistic judgments that are common in policy discussions. We document the importance of assessing financial competence by demonstrating, through an example, that an educational intervention can appear highly successful according to conventional outcome measures while failing to improve the quality of financial decision making. Specifically, we study a simple intervention concerning compound interest that significantly improves performance on a test of conceptual knowledge (which subjects report operationalizing in their decisions), and appears to counteract exponential growth bias. However, financial competence (welfare) does not improve. We trace the mechanisms that account for these seemingly divergent findings.
我们引入了财务能力的概念,衡量个人的财务选择与他们正确理解自己的机会集时会做出的选择的程度。与现有的财务决策质量衡量标准不同,这一概念牢牢扎根于基于选择的行为福利分析原则;它还避免了政策讨论中常见的家长式判断。我们通过一个例子证明了评估财务能力的重要性,即根据传统的结果衡量标准,教育干预可能非常成功,但未能提高财务决策的质量。具体而言,我们研究了一种简单的复利干预,该干预显著提高了概念性知识测试的表现(受试者报告在其决策中可操作性),并似乎抵消了指数增长偏差。但是,财政能力(福利)并没有提高。我们追踪解释这些看似不同的发现的机制。

State Mandated Financial Education and the Credit Behavior of Young Adults 国家强制金融教育与年轻人的信用行为
Pub Date : 2014-08-25 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2495884
Alexandra Brown, J. Collins, Maximilian D. Schmeiser, Carly Urban
In the U.S., a number of states have mandated personal finance classes in public school curricula to address perceived deficiencies in financial decision-making competency. Despite the growth of financial and economic education provided in public schools, little is known about the effect of these programs on the credit behaviors of young adults. Using a panel of credit report data, we examine young adults in three states where personal financial education mandates were implemented in 2007: Georgia, Idaho, and Texas. We compare the credit scores and delinquency rates of young adults in each of these states pre- and post-implementation of the education to those of students in a synthetic control state and then bordering states without financial education. We find that young people who are in school after the implementation of a financial education requirement have higher relative credit scores and lower relative delinquency rates than those in control states.
在美国,许多州都要求公立学校开设个人理财课程,以解决财务决策能力方面的明显缺陷。尽管公立学校提供的金融和经济教育有所增加,但人们对这些课程对年轻人信贷行为的影响知之甚少。利用信用报告数据,我们研究了2007年实施个人理财教育的三个州的年轻人:乔治亚州、爱达荷州和德克萨斯州。我们比较了这些州的年轻人在实施教育前后的信用评分和拖欠率,以及在综合控制州和没有金融教育的边境州的学生的信用评分和拖欠率。我们发现,实施金融教育要求后仍在学校的年轻人,相对信用评分较高,相对拖欠率较低。

Lawyer Finances: Principles and Practices for Personal and Professional Financial Success 律师财务:个人和专业财务成功的原则和实践
Pub Date : 2014-07-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2505140
Nelson P. Miller, Paul T. Sorensen, Mark A. Michon
Too few lawyers know the financial principles and practices that make for personal and professional success. Lawyers are good at many things necessary for law practice. They know the law and have the skills and identity to put the law to good use for their clients. They sometimes overlook, though, that their personal and professional finances can determine how long and effectively they are able to serve those clients. Finances can determine the success and failure of lawyers and their firms. Personal finances can make and break individual lawyers. When lawyers discern and follow sound financial principles and practices, they gain rewarding and sustaining peace of mind, purpose, stability, and security. Finances can also make and break firms. When the managing members of firms agree on and follow sound professional financial principles and practices, they lay and build a foundation for sustainable practice.This book introduces principles of personal and professional finance for lawyers. For lawyers personally, the subjects include financial statements and budgeting, risk management and insurance planning, and investment and retirement planning. For law firm financial management, the subjects include legal and capital structures, annual financial plans, balance sheets, working capital, operating statements, ratio analyses, and financial targets.Lawyers and law students who read this book should find encouraging confirmation of core commitments that they and others whom they trust have made and followed around finances. The principles and practices this book promotes are not a get-rich-quick scheme. They instead help lawyers prepare, plan, and practice wisely using modern methods made sound with the wisdom of the ages.
很少有律师知道使个人和职业成功的财务原则和实践。律师擅长许多法律实践所必需的事情。他们了解法律,并且有技能和身份,可以为他们的客户很好地利用法律。然而,他们有时忽略了他们的个人和职业财务状况可以决定他们为这些客户服务的时间和效率。财务状况可以决定律师及其事务所的成败。个人财务状况可以成就也可以毁掉一个律师。当律师辨别并遵循合理的财务原则和实践时,他们会获得有益的、持续的内心平静、目标、稳定和安全。财务状况也可以成就公司,也可以毁掉公司。当公司的管理成员同意并遵循健全的专业财务原则和实践时,他们就为可持续实践奠定了基础。这本书为律师介绍了个人和专业财务的原则。对于律师个人而言,科目包括财务报表和预算,风险管理和保险规划,以及投资和退休计划。对于律师事务所的财务管理,科目包括法律和资本结构、年度财务计划、资产负债表、营运资金、经营报表、比率分析和财务目标。读过这本书的律师和法律系学生应该会发现,他们和他们信任的人在财务方面做出并遵循的核心承诺得到了鼓舞人心的确认。本书提倡的原则和实践并不是一个快速致富的计划。相反,他们帮助律师准备、计划和明智地使用现代方法,这些方法与时代的智慧相结合。

Do Individual Currency Traders Make Money? 个人外汇交易者赚钱吗?
Pub Date : 2014-06-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2514514
Boris Abbey, John A. Doukas
Using a unique online currency transactions dataset, we examine the performance, trading activity, drawdown, and timing abilities of individual currency traders. Evidence from 428 accounts during the 2004–2009 period shows that currency traders earn positive abnormal returns, even after accounting for transaction costs. Additionally, the results reveal that day traders not only trade more frequently than non-day traders, but also outperform them in terms of raw, a passive benchmark and risk-adjusted returns. Finally, sorts on trade activity, measured as the mean number of trades per day per account, and account turnover, show a positive association between performance and trade activity.
使用独特的在线货币交易数据集,我们检查个人货币交易者的表现,交易活动,回款和时机能力。2004年至2009年期间,428个账户的证据表明,外汇交易员即使考虑了交易成本,也能获得正的异常回报。此外,结果显示,日内交易者不仅比非日内交易者交易更频繁,而且在原始、被动基准和风险调整回报方面也优于非日内交易者。最后,对交易活动的分类,以每个账户每天的平均交易数量和账户周转率来衡量,显示了业绩与交易活动之间的正相关关系。

Financial Literacy and the College Student 金融素养与大学生
Pub Date : 2014-04-29 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2430795
Kerry M. Tew, Philip Tew
A multi-school, multi-state survey of 513 students is utilized to determine the financial literacy of college students as it relates to their own financial situation. We find that over one fourth of college students are not participants in the financial system, over one third do not know how much credit card or student loan debt that they currently owe, and they overestimate their future earnings by more than 20%. We do find that these troubling statistics are lowered when the students receive their financial information from college personnel rather than high school personnel and family and friends. Our findings illustrate the importance of financial literacy training for all college students.
对513名学生进行了多学校、多州的调查,以确定大学生的财务素养,因为这与他们自己的财务状况有关。我们发现,超过四分之一的大学生不参与金融体系,超过三分之一的大学生不知道他们目前欠了多少信用卡或学生贷款,他们高估了自己未来的收入20%以上。我们确实发现,当学生从大学工作人员而不是高中工作人员和家人朋友那里获得财务信息时,这些令人不安的统计数据就会降低。我们的研究结果说明了金融知识培训对所有大学生的重要性。

Financial Literacy and High-Cost Borrowing in the United States 美国的金融知识和高成本借贷
Pub Date : 2013-01-31 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2585243
A. Lusardi, Carlo de Bassa Scheresberg
In this paper, we examine high-cost methods of borrowing in the United States, such as payday loans, pawn shops, auto title loans, refund anticipation loans, and rent-to-own shops, and offer a portrait of borrowers who use these methods. Considering a representative sample of more than 26,000 respondents, we find that about one in four Americans has used one of these methods in the past five years. Moreover, many young adults engage in high-cost borrowing: 34 percent of young respondents (aged 18-34) and 43 percent of young respondents with a high school degree have used one of these methods. Using well-tested questions to measure financial literacy, we document that most high-cost borrowers display very low levels of financial literacy, i.e., they lack numeracy and do not possess knowledge of basic financial concepts. Most importantly, we find that those who are more financially literate are much less likely to have engaged in high-cost borrowing. Our empirical work shows that it is not only the shocks inflicted by the financial crisis or the structure of the financial system but that the level of financial literacy also plays a role in explaining why so many individuals have made use of high-cost borrowing methods.
在本文中,我们研究了美国的高成本借贷方法,如发薪日贷款、典当行、汽车所有权贷款、退款预期贷款和租赁自有商店,并提供了使用这些方法的借款人的画像。考虑到超过26,000名受访者的代表性样本,我们发现在过去五年中,大约四分之一的美国人使用过其中一种方法。此外,许多年轻人从事高成本借贷:34%的年轻受访者(18-34岁)和43%的具有高中学历的年轻受访者使用过这些方法之一。使用经过充分测试的问题来衡量金融素养,我们证明大多数高成本借款人的金融素养水平非常低,即他们缺乏计算能力,不具备基本金融概念的知识。最重要的是,我们发现那些财务知识更丰富的人不太可能从事高成本借贷。我们的实证研究表明,这不仅是金融危机或金融体系结构造成的冲击,而且金融知识水平也在解释为什么这么多个人使用高成本借贷方法方面发挥了作用。

Are Young Borrowers Bad Borrowers? Evidence from the Credit CARD Act of 2009 年轻借款者是不良借款者吗?来自2009年信用卡法案的证据
Pub Date : 2013-01-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2306556

Young borrowers are the least experienced financially and, conventionally, thought to be most prone to financial mistakes. We study the relationship between age and financial problems related to credit cards. Our results challenge the notion that young borrowers are bad borrowers. We show that young borrowers are among the least likely to experience a serious credit card default. We then exploit the 2009 CARD Act to identify which individuals self-select into obtaining a credit card early in life. We find that individuals who choose early credit card use default less and are more likely to get a mortgage while young.
年轻的借款人是最缺乏财务经验的,而且通常被认为最容易犯财务错误。我们研究年龄与信用卡相关的财务问题之间的关系。我们的研究结果挑战了年轻借款人是不良借款人的观念。我们表明,年轻的借款人是最不可能经历严重的信用卡违约的人。然后,我们利用2009年的信用卡法案来确定哪些人在生命早期就自我选择获得信用卡。我们发现,选择早期使用信用卡的个人违约较少,更有可能在年轻时获得抵押贷款。

A study was undertaken to determine if obtaining professional certification in financial counseling and education has any impact on the personal financial literacy skills and competency of these individuals. The study found that participation in a professional certification program had a measurable impact on an individual's financial literacy level, study participants demonstrated an increase in their financial literacy on average by 12% from pre-certification assessment scores. The study also found a 25% increase by study participants in their confidence to answer student or client questions about financial topics. Additionally, 89% of the participants indicated that they felt more confident in their understanding of debt management options and 74% indicated an increase in their understanding of different retirement planning options. These results were an increase of 117% and 89% respectively as compared to their precertification evaluation results. This study indicates that the materials participants study and the process of preparing for professional certification in the field of financial counseling and education had a direct effect on participants’ own financial literacy and competency. There were noticeable increases between pre-certification assessment and evaluation scores and post certification assessment and evaluation scores, regardless of the professional's academic achievement, ethnicity, gender, or professional and financial experience.
我们进行了一项研究,以确定获得财务咨询和教育方面的专业认证是否对这些人的个人财务素养技能和能力有任何影响。研究发现,参加专业认证项目对个人的金融知识水平有可衡量的影响,研究参与者的金融知识水平比认证前的评估分数平均提高了12%。该研究还发现,研究参与者在回答学生或客户有关金融主题的问题时的信心增加了25%。此外,89%的受访者表示,他们对债务管理方案的理解更有信心,74%的受访者表示,他们对不同退休计划方案的理解有所增加。与预认证评价结果相比,这些结果分别增加了117%和89%。本研究表明,参与者学习的材料和准备金融咨询和教育领域专业认证的过程对参与者自身的金融素养和能力有直接影响。无论专业人员的学术成就、种族、性别或专业和财务经验如何,认证前评估和评估分数与认证后评估和评估分数之间都有显著的增加。
