The Impact

Behavioral finance is an area or sub-discipline of behavioral economics that examines the real financial behavior and decision-making of people, including the knowledge of psychology and sociology. The objective of this paper was to identify and investigate the impact of significant cognitive, psychological and emotional factors affecting the financial decision-making of the shareholders of woodworking and furniture manufacturing and trading enterprises. This could lead to the design of decision-making concepts which take into account not only cognitive but also psychological and emotional factors and their influences on decision-making process, which could positively affect the sustainable development of the aforementioned types of enterprises. The mapping of the addressed issue was carried out by means of an empirical survey in the practice of the Slovak woodworking and furniture manufacturing and trading enterprises in the form of a questionnaire. The results of the survey were evaluated by descriptive, graphical and mathematical-statistical methods. Conclusions and recommendations were formulated based on the identification of key behavioral aspects (knowledge, security, freedom and sadness), the implementation of which could contribute to eliminating negative deviations and errors in the financial decision-making process of shareholders of woodworking and furniture manufacturing and trading enterprises.

The Impact

This research aims to investigate whether the financial decision-making process of elderly people in the acquisition of payroll loans is influenced by the anchoring heuristic. In the Anchorage heuristic, individuals focus their attention on recently received information and use it as a reference to make a decision, or itcan also be the result of a partial or incomplete analysis of the received information, which often happens with elderly people. As the financial decision-making process is somewhat complex, the use of mental shortcuts (Heuristics) to facilitate decisionscould lead to catastrophic long-term indebtedness situations, especially in elderly people in a situation of gradual decline in physical and psychological health. This is a qualitative, quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and survey research, the data collection instrument used refers to the adaptation of a questionnaire that aims to seek answers for possible effects and/or relationships between anchoring and financial decision making, using as a measurement and analysis parameter the method proposed byJacowitz & Kahneman (1995). Expected with this research to measure the impact of the anchoring heuristic in the financial decision-making process of elderly citizens, retirees and/or INSS beneficiaries in the acquisition of payroll-deductible loans. In this way, if the bias hypothesis is confirmed, strategies to support financial education may be implemented as an initiative to minimize the heuristic effects, culminating in a better quality of life for the elderly class, with effects on the general population.

PurposeWomen empowerment becomes an important policy discussion in development economics and modernization theory. The empowerment of women can lead to an increase in the quality viz-a-viz the capacity of human resources accessible for economic development. The purpose of this study is to evidence the impact of social and economic dimensions on women empowerment through financial inclusion in rural India.Design/methodology/approachTo reveal the research objective, the study has utilized a primary survey of women respondents from the Gujarat state of India by a simple random sampling method and applied a logistic regression approach to identify the relationship between the need of a bank account (determinant of financial inclusion) as a dependent variable and social and economic dimensions of women empowerment such as earning status, participation in financial decision-making, recipient of social welfare schemes and perception towards the safety of saving as independent variables.FindingsThe results of this study show that earning status, participation in financial decision-making at household level and recipient of social welfare schemes by women have a significant impact on women empowerment through financial inclusion; however, safety of their savings is observed as an insignificant variable, yet the odd value is very high (2.437) in the present study.Originality/valueThe present study is the first of its kind to examine the social and economic status of women and its impact on their requirement of a formal bank account for the overall empowerment of women in rural India.

The main aim of the study is to find the effect of the financial advertisement on the respondent’s information selection, processing and analysing it while making the financial purchase decisions. The study identified the important factors that affect the investment decision-making process and explored them by using the exploratory factor analysis. The conceptual model has been tested using the AMOS SEM software. The factor analysis identified the four important factors that are affecting the financial decision-making, that is, financial literacy, celebrity endorsement, perceived reality and entertainment. The hypothesis testing reveals that advertisement, perceived reality and entertainment are affecting the information processing and financial decision-making process, whereas financial literacy and celebrity endorsement do not have significant effects on the financial product purchase. The results are useful for the advertisers, policy makers and the financial service providers so as to increase the sale of financial products by focusing on the variables extracted by the research.

Stress can precipitate the onset of mood and anxiety disorders. This may occur, at least in part, via a modulatory effect of stress on decision-making. Some individuals are, however, more resilient to the effects of stress than others. The mechanisms underlying such vulnerability differences are nevertheless unknown. In this study we attempted to begin quantifying individual differences in vulnerability by exploring the effect of experimentally induced stress on decision-making. Threat of unpredictable shock was used to induce stress in healthy volunteers (N=47) using a within-subjects, within-session design, and its impact on a financial decision-making task (the Iowa Gambling Task) was assessed alongside anxious and depressive symptomatology. As expected, participants learned to select advantageous decks and avoid disadvantageous decks. Importantly, we found that stress provoked a pattern of harm-avoidant behaviour (decreased selection of disadvantageous decks) in individuals with low levels of trait anxiety. By contrast, individuals with high trait anxiety demonstrated the opposite pattern: stress-induced risk-seeking (increased selection of disadvantageous decks). These contrasting influences of stress depending on mood and anxiety symptoms might provide insight into vulnerability to common mental illness. In particular, we speculate that those who adopt a more harm-avoidant strategy may be better able to regulate their exposure to further environmental stress, reducing their susceptibility to mood and anxiety disorders. The threat of shock paradigm we employed might therefore hold promise as a ‘stress-test’ for determining individual vulnerability to mood and anxiety disorders.
