Teaching teenagers in finance: does it work? (2015, background): “…low intergenerational (education) mobility in Germany.3 The non-profit training provider targets teenagers in these schools since previous studies show particularly strong deficiencies in financial literacy in the low-SES strata of the population (e.g., Lusardi and Mitchell, 2008; Jappelli, 2010).”
Financial literacy and consumer credit portfolios (2013, background): “Since decisions to invest in financial literacy arise endogenously depending upon individual financial scenarios (Jappelli, 2010; Jappelli and Padula, 2011), some studies use instruments for financial literacy which create variation in levels of literacy within samples uncorrelated with financial ma”
Financial literacy and retirement planning in Germany* (2011, positive): “In a cross-country study, Jappelli (2010) ﬁnds that ﬁnancial literacy slowly improves with economic development.”
Who Is (More) Rational (2014, background): “…that wealth and retirement saving patterns are associated with numerical and other cognitive abilities at middle and older ages; and Van Den Berg et al. (2010) and Jappelli (2010) explore some of the potential causes of the differences in cognitive function and financial literacy in later life.”

Self-Control, Financial Literacy and Consumer Over-Indebtedness (2012, background): “More generally, levels ofﬁnancial literacy across populations appear low (Hoelzl & Kapetyn, 2011; Jappelli, 2010; Lusardi, 2008; Lusardi & Mitchell, 2008).”
Assessing financial literacy in 12 countries: an OECD/INFE international pilot exercise* (2011, neutral): “It is illuminating to read a recent paper by Jappelli (2010) that states:”
Financial literacy and pension plan participation in Italy* (2011, positive): “This result is consistent with the cross-country evidence of Jappelli (2010), showing a positive link between economic literacy and economic development.”
Financial literacy and retirement planning in Canada* (2014, neutral): “Moreover, since Canada –Quebec in particular – performs well in mathematics on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA; see Knighton et al., 2010), one may expect a relatively high level of financial literacy among the adult population (Jappelli, 2010; Jappelli and Padula, 2013).”
