Formative Experiences and Portfolio Choice: Evidence from the Finnish Great Depression
We trace the impact of formative experiences on portfolio choice. Plausibly exogenous variation in workers? exposure to a depression allows us to identify the effects and a new estimation approach makes addressing wealth and income effects possible. We find that adversely affected workers are less likely to invest in risky assets. This result is robust to a number of control variables and it holds for individuals whose income, employment, and wealth were unaffected. The effects travel through social networks: individuals whose neighbors and family members experienced adverse circumstances also avoid risky investments..Printed Journal
