The Effects Of Financial Education And Networks On Business Students Financial Literacy

Abstract

This study investigates the joint effects of financial education and educational networks on students financial literacy. With a sample (N = 105) of senior students in a business college, the study finds that not only financial education, but also strong networks with professors, are positively related to the financial literacy of business students. After controlling for financial education, the results reveal that students educational network strength is positively associated with their financial literacy. On the contrary, students personal networks are not significantly related to their financial literacy. This paper contributes to the literature on financial literacy by showing that individuals financial networks with faculty, as well as financial education, can influence their financial literacy.
