Two Measures

Financial (il-)literacy and its effects have been studied extensively in recent years. The measurement of this concept is, however, tricky and numerous measurement instruments exist. In this paper, we study the connection between these measures empirically. We find that these measures are often only slightly related and that this is a so-far overlooked empirical problem in this field. As a result of our analysis, we suggest the combination of two measures as the best potential alternative to the existing measures. Finally, we analyze the predictive power of this suggested measure for stock investment decisions.

This study covers the gender-wise analysis of how behavioural factors and socio-economic factors along with the level of financial literacy influence investment decisions of Indian retail investors. Equally pertinent is to understand that will it have a different influence and bearing on males and females. Multivariate technique partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has been applied to develop the model and analyse the results. The study used a structured questionnaire for collecting data from retail investors. The findings of PLS-SEM show that in both genders, behavioural factors, socio-economic factors and financial literacy factors significantly affect investment decisions. However, the findings demonstrate that for women investors, the model is more effective. This study may be useful for prospective fund managers as, in many earlier studies, women are considered to be risk aversive. The results demonstrate that there is a need to target women, and the scenario today is not similar to the pre-existing ones. JEL Classification: G110, G4

                                                        ABSTRACTThis research aims to analyze psychological biases that occur when investors make risky investment decisions. There are five behavioral factors analyzed (herding, overconfidence, disposition effect, conservatism, and availability). Financial literacy is used as moderator in analyzing the effect of those bahaviors towards risky investment decisions. This research examines four econometric equations in explaining financial literacy as a moderator. Interaction effect testing is carried out using moderating variable regression. The results show that psychological biases occur in making risky investment decisions. Herding behavior, overconfidence, disposition effect, and conservatism show a positive effect, while availability does not show a significant effect. Testing on the interaction model finds that financial literacy is able to reduce these psychological biases. This finding also explains the managerial implications that investors with high levels of financial literacy have the potential to experience relatively low psychological biases compared to investors with limited levels of financial literacy. In terms of limitations, this research uses a questionnaire survey that has not been able to reveal aspects of investor behavior in a comprehensive manner. In addition, the number of respondents who are more dominated by beginner investors also adds to the limitations in carrying out the generalization.                                                    ABSTRAKRiset ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bias-bias psikologi yang terjadi ketika pemodal mengambil keputusan investasi berisiko. Terdapat lima faktor perilaku yang dianalisis, yaitu perilaku herding, overconfidence, disposition effect, conservatism, dan availability. Literasi keuangan digunakan sebagai pemoderasi dalam menganalisis pengaruh faktor-faktor keperilakuan tersebut terhadap keputusan investasi berisiko. Riset ini menguji empat persamaan ekonometrika dalam menjelaskan peran literasi keuangan sebagai pemoderasi. Pengujian efek interaksi dilakukan dengan menggunakan regresi variabel moderasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa bias-bias psikologi terjadi dalam pengambilan keputusan investasi berisiko. Perilaku herding, overconfidence, disposition effect, dan conservatism menunjukkan pengaruh positif terhadap pengambilan keputusan investasi berisiko, sementara bias availability tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang bermakna dalam riset ini. Pengujian pada model interaksi menemukan bahwa literasi keuangan mampu mereduksi bias-bias psikologi tersebut. Temuan ini sekaligus menjelaskan implikasi manajerial bahwa pemodal dengan tingkat literasi keuangan yang baik berpotensi mengalami bias-bias psikologi yang relatif lebih rendah dibandingkan pemodal dengan tingkat lietrasi keuangan yang terbatas. Dari sisi keterbatasan, riset ini menggunakan survei kuesioner yang belum mampu mengungkap aspek perilaku pemodal secara komprehensif. Selain itu, jumlah responden yang lebih didominasi oleh pemodal pemula juga menambah keterbatasan dalam melakukan generalisasi hasil penelitian.
