Thesis by Arthur Pokrikyan, PhD
In frame of this dissertation, the relationship of financial literacy, financial preferences and financial decisions of consumers regarding saving and debt management is analyzed and evaluated by using binary logistic regression and quasi-experimental research on primary data and descriptive analysis of secondary data.
The results, outline that financial literacy significantly affects the financial decisions of consumers regarding saving. The impact of financial literacy on debt management decisions of consumers is not significant. Financial literacy intervention in form of workshop proved to be efficient in the short-run, while its long-term effectiveness is controversial. The relationship between financial literacy and financial decisions is different across socio-demographics. Thus, policymakers and all stakeholders should consider the research findings to implement more targeted, differentiated, efficient policies towards respective target groups.
