Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A strong positive relationship between self-esteem and an individual's decision to engage in various forms of financial planning is empirically demonstrated using a unique data sample. These results yield interesting implications for the possible effect of self-esteem interventions on financial planning choices and pave the way for future psychological and economic research in this area.
