Are people ready to take pivotal financial decisions like choosing
a mortgage, saving for retirement, or investing their savings? How
does the degree of knowledge about financial products and services
affect the quality of their choices? Can financial fraud be
prevented by increasing consumer financial knowledge? Financial
Literacy in Europe addresses these important questions and more. In
the first part, the author investigates the concept of financial
literacy by analyzing its components and comparing different
definitions from previous studies. This then forms a comprehensive
measure of financial literacy to be applied in empirical studies
that analyze the role of financial literacy in explaining
consumers' financial behaviors. In the second part of the study,
the author uses brand new data collected by the Consumer Finance
Research Center (CFRC) from several European countries (the UK,
Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, and Spain) to assess financial
literacy in Europe and highlight similarities and differences
across countries. Filling an important gap in previous research,
the author develops a rigorous approach in the measurement of
financial literacy in order to examine European financial literacy
issues in great detail. This book, therefore, is a useful resource
for assessing the effectiveness of single financial education
programs or planning national strategies on financial education. It
can also support policy makers in developing financial regulation
and consumer protection strategies, considering the consumer
perspective and their ability to deal with financial markets and
institutions.
