Policy Brief published on "Sustainable Finance Literacy Training: Impact on Investment Decisions"
This policy brief examines how investor education on sustainable finance can impact investment decisions.
We investigated the impact of an educational program on Sustainable Finance Literacy (SFL) and its effect on investment choices. Using a randomized controlled trial and incentivized choice experiment, we showed that the program significantly improved SFL. Participants were 6 percentage points more likely to invest in highly sustainable funds and 2.5 to 3 percentage points less likely to choose less sustainable options. These effects were stronger among investors with pre-existing green attitudes.
