Financial literacy learning in emerging markets: Agent-based modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Financial literacy is a critical determinant of household well-being. We use an agent-based modelling approach to analyse the impacts of financial literacy programs delivered from sources of varying degrees of credibility through a social network in emerging economies. The simulation results indicate that the social networks of emerging markets rely heavily on source credibility to grow and sustain financial literacy levels. The results illustrate that financial education programs undertaken without regard for the context of the key social networks or source credibility neglect a main source of information flow and validation which can lead to program failure.

متن کاملInvestigation of the market efficiency of emerging stock markets in the East-European region
The presence of stock market efficiency is a distinctive characteristic of the effectively functioning market economy. Investigation of the market efficiency of seven emerging East-European stock exchanges is carried out as their major stock indices (BELEX15, BET, CROBEX, ISE100, PFTS, RTSI, SOFIX) are studied in respect of long-range dependence (LRD), persistency, and forecasting possibili...
متن کاملDeterminants of Bonanza Episodes and Related Effects on Financial Crises in Emerging Market Countries
Although capital inflows affect positively economies in long-run, it is possible to generate somehow destructive effects if there is no any control on financial markets. This study tries to explore main determinants of large capital inflows episodes to emerging markets. It is also investigated whether the large capital inflows episodes lead to financial crises in forms of sudden stop phenomenon...
متن کاملMachine learning algorithms for time series in financial markets
This research is related to the usefulness of different machine learning methods in forecasting time series on financial markets. The main issue in this field is that economic managers and scientific society are still longing for more accurate forecasting algorithms. Fulfilling this request leads to an increase in forecasting quality and, therefore, more profitability and efficiency. In this pa...
متن کاملUsing Hybrid Agent-Based Systems to Model Spatially-Influenced Retail Markets
One emerging area of agent-based modelling is retail markets; however, there are problems with modelling such systems. The vast size of such markets makes individual-level modelling, for example of customers, difficult and this is particularly true where the markets are spatially complex. There is an emerging recognition that the power of agent-based systems is enhanced when integrated with oth...
