Does financial literacy increase students’ perceived value of schooling?

Abstract: Using data from the 2012 Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) for Italy, this paper investigates whether financial literacy skills play a role in shaping the value that high school students place on schooling. We hypothesize that higher financial literacy may foster students' awareness of the financial and non-financial benefits of gaining additional education, together with the costs associated with poor school outcomes. We complement OLS estimates with an instrumental variable (IV) approach… Show more

“…Moreover, there is a mutual relationship between financial literacy and education. Pesando (2018) analyzes the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores of Italy and finds out that students with higher financial literacy levels have a higher understanding of the importance of schooling. Farinella et al (2017) study the relationship between financial literacy levels of high school students, social equality and higher income in which they find a correlation.…”

“…The results also show that when treated as an endogenous determinant the "kick" that comes from being financially literate (or more financially literate) is larger than when financial literacy is not instrumented and the relationship is assumed to be exogenous. This larger coefficient on the instrumented variable is not unusual in financial literacy studies where IVs are used (Pesando, 2018). The key finding is that there is a positive relationship between financial literacy and employment, with the likely causal direction running from financial literacy to employment.…”
