Individual Wealth Management: Does Self-esteem Matter? Journal of Applied Business and Economics 10,2 (2009): 1-14.

Self-esteem measures confidence in one's abilities. Prior literature has shown that higher self-esteem can also affect individual financial decision making through an increased willingness to invest in risky assets and motivation to enhance self image through wealth accumulation. However, self-esteem can also lead to wealth-destroying investment behaviors due to overconfidence and an unwillingness to accept inevitable losses. Using the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale included in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we model wealth and portfolio allocation as a function of self-esteem, socioeconomic and demographic variables. Self-esteem is positively associated with an increase in net worth between 1994 and 2004, and with the proportion of a household portfolio held in investment assets. This study adds to the literature on psychological determinants of optimal household portfolio allocation by providing evidence that the positive effects of self-esteem outweigh the negative financial behaviors identified in prior literature. |

The Impact of Ultrasound Laws on the Demand for Abortions by Young Women Journal of Applied Business and Economics 12,5 (October 2011): 54-65. Also: http://www.na-businesspress.com/JABE/jabescholar.html Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: North American Business Press Keyword(s): Abortion; Legislation Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The purpose of the present study is to determine if laws requiring ultrasounds have any effect on abortion. Using individual-level data from the NLSY and a sample selection model, results suggest that ultrasound requirement laws have a negative effect on the abortion decision of a young woman. In addition to the ultrasound requirement laws, other important determinants of the decision to abort were marital status, the presence of other children, and urban residence. |
