Abstract:

This seminar will delve into financial literacy and its relation with three phenomena: sustainable investing, online financial frauds, and the use of robo-advisors. In this seminar, Dr Oggero shares the recent research outcomes as follows:

1. An investigation into the role of financial literacy in shaping the intention to make Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) using survey data on a representative sample of Italian adults.

2. An analysis of the relation between being a victim of online financial fraud and financial literacy, using representative Italian data collected in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

3. An investigation into the potential demand for robo-advisory among Millennials and Generation Z, using data from a survey that was designed and fielded in Italy.
