The aim of this research is to examine the financial risk propensity among Italian millennials, considering variables such as gender, geographical location, and field of study pursued. The quantitative approach adopted is based on primary data collected through two questionnaires. The first, a brief preliminary test, consists of six closed-ended questions. Participants who answer correctly to at least four of them are considered to have good financial knowledge and are eligible to participate in the main test. The second questionnaire is the pre-existing one developed by John Grable and Ruth H. Lytton (2015) in its abbreviated form consisting of 13 items. The sample used includes 106 students enrolled in master's degree programs in Economics and Finance, Law, Social Psychology, and Communication Sciences. The universities involved are the University of Padua, Bocconi University, Università Cattolica Sacro Cuore, and the University of Milan. This study adds to existing research in the literature on behavioral finance and contributes to the understanding of prospect theory and entrepreneurship by providing important empirical evidence on the relationship between gender and financial risk propensity, geographical location and financial risk propensity, and field of study and financial risk propensity.
L'obiettivo di questa ricerca consiste nell'esaminare la propensione al rischio finanziario tra i millennials italiani, considerando le variabili di genere, posizione geografica e corso di laurea frequentato. L'approccio quantitativo adottato si basa su dati primari raccolti mediante due questionari. Il primo, un breve test preliminare, consistente in sei domande a risposta chiusa. I partecipanti che rispondono correttamente a quattro di esse sono considerati dotati di una buona conoscenza finanziaria e sono idonei a partecipare al test principale. Il secondo questionario è il già esistente elaborato da John Grable e Ruth H. Lytton (2015) nella sua forma ridotta composta da 13 item. Il campione utilizzato comprende 106 studenti iscritti ai corsi di laurea magistrale in Economia e Finanza, Giurisprudenza, Psicologia Sociale e Scienze della Comunicazione. Le università coinvolte sono l'Università degli Studi di Padova, l'Università Luigi Bocconi, l'Università Cattolica Sacro Cuore e l'Università degli Studi di Milano. Questo studio si aggiunge alle già esistenti ricerche presenti in letteratura sulla finanza comportamentale e contribuisce alla comprensione della teoria prospettica e dell'imprenditorialità, offrendo importanti evidenze empiriche sulla relazione tra genere e propensione al rischio finanziario, posizione geografica e propensione al rischio finanziario, e corso di laurea e propensione al rischio finanziario.

Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the financial risk propensity among Italian millennials, considering variables such as gender, geographical location, and field of study pursued. The quantitative approach adopted is based on primary data collected through two questionnaires. The first, a brief preliminary test, consists of six closed-ended questions. Participants who answer correctly to at least four of them are considered to have good financial knowledge and are eligible to participate in the main test. The second questionnaire is the pre-existing one developed by John Grable and Ruth H. Lytton (2015) in its abbreviated form consisting of 13 items. The sample used includes 106 students enrolled in master's degree programs in Economics and Finance, Law, Social Psychology, and Communication Sciences. The universities involved are the University of Padua, Bocconi University, Università Cattolica Sacro Cuore, and the University of Milan. This study adds to existing research in the literature on behavioral finance and contributes to the understanding of prospect theory and entrepreneurship by providing important empirical evidence on the relationship between gender and financial risk propensity, geographical location and financial risk propensity, and field of study and financial risk propensity.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
