Financial Market Participation

This paper uses the National Longitudinal Survey dataset to examine the role of income uncertainty in explaining the likelihood of financial asset ownership among native-born and immigrant Americans. After controlling for a number of socioeconomic, demographic and behavioral factors, the results suggest that individual investors who face greater income uncertainty are less likely to own financial assets. This relationship holds true for immigrants and native-born Americans. Additionally, the likelihood of financial asset ownership increases with income, risk tolerance, and educational attainment for immigrants as well as for natives. Results also suggest that financial market participation among immigrants increases with the number of years they remain in the United States.

The Relationship

Abstract Willingness to participate in financial markets is important for financial well-being, including the accumulation of retirement savings through self-directed pension programs. We consider the roles of two key factors, trust and financial literacy in financial market participation. We find both are strongly related to participation. Although trust is more uniformly correlated with increases in financial market participation, the relationship between financial literacy and engagement is u-shaped, with increases in financial literacy first associated with reductions and subsequently with increases in the levels of participation. Our findings suggest trust and financial literacy play different roles and that each is related to investment behaviors in important ways.

Structured Questionnaire

The study examined maize farmers’ participation in the formal financial market and its impact on farm size and expenditure on variable farm inputs. A multistage sampling method was used in selecting 595 maize farmers from the seven districts in Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions of Ghana. A structured questionnaire and interview schedule were used to elicit information from the respondents. The impact of formal financial market participation on farm size and expenditure on variable inputs was estimated using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method. The results of the study showed that formal financial market participation has the potential to significantly increase expenditure on variable inputs by farmers and consequently use of improved technology. Therefore, formal financial market participation should be encouraged through education and promotional activities.
