The Effects of a Financial Literacy Intervention on the Financial and Economic Knowledge of High School Students
Gill, Andrew; Bhattacharya, Radha
Journal of Economic Education, v50 n3 p215-229 2019
The authors taught financial concepts to students in 12th-grade economics classes, where one treatment was intensive in money management (MM) topics and the other was intensive in financial investment (FI) topics. Two control groups, consisting of 11th-grade students with no exposure to economics and 12th-grade economics students, received no treatment. Both treatment groups showed a 13 percentage point increase in test scores from pretest to posttest, while neither control group showed gains. Neither treatment group outperformed the other in the financial literacy test.
