Abstract:
In this paper, we examine the relation between individualistic culture and household stock market participation. To establish causality, we adopt the epidemiological approach and exploit variations in the level of individualism in second-generation immigrants’ countries of origin. We find that individualism has a positive effect on individuals’ propensity to invest in stocks. This cultural effect is stronger among people with lower socioeconomic status. In addition, individualistic culture increases levels of trust and optimism among households, which are important drivers of stock market participation. Our findings suggest that culture has a persistent and profound effect on household financial risk taking.
