Level Of Risk

The traditional perspective of financial theory suggests an implicit rationality on decision making. Historically, researches have revolved around demographic, social and economic heuristics, thus neglecting the emotional, cognitive and behavioral suppositions, related to financial decision making. In this sense, this study aims to evaluate which are the determining factors for risk tolerance. So, we carried out a survey on 815 individuals residing in Santa Maria, Julio de Castilhos and Cruz Alta, Brazil. Afterwards, we performed a CFA and, eventually, a regression analysis. Generally and consistently, the suppositions for rationality were refuted, though consistent to the Prospect Theory, validating the numerous studies that demonstrate the violation of the rationality suppositions. The heuristics which are traditionally used in order to determine the level of risk tolerance have not shown to be significant in this research. The cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions of decision making have shown to be significant.

Financial Decision

This study examines the financial investment decision-making and risk behaviors ofMalaysian men and women. It uses data obtained from a survey of employed Malaysians totest two opposing models of household decision making, the income pooling hypothesis andthe bargaining model. Ordinal probit regressions are estimated to determine if earning shareaffects decisions on financial investments, and to identify factors that affect risk tolerance ofmen and women. The results indicate that although both men and women practice autonomyin decisions related to financial investments, women have lower risk tolerance than men.The results on decision making are consistent with the bargaining model as reflected in theimportance of relative earning share in financial decision making.Keywords: Malaysia; Income Pooling Hypothesis; Bargaining Model; Financial Decision-Making; Risk Tolerance; Household.
