Cash Value Life Insurance Ownership among Young Adults: The Role of Self-Discipline and Risk Tolerance Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance published online (23 July 2020): 100385. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214635020300496 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Assets; Insurance; Risk-Taking; Self-Control/Self-Regulation Cash value life insurance (CVLI) is a risk management tool that provides not only a life cycle protection but also a cash value accumulation potential. This study used the behavioral life cycle hypothesis as a theoretical framework and investigated the role of self-discipline and risk tolerance on CVLI ownership of young adult households aged 26-30. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) that surveyed Americans born between 1980 and 1984. The results showed that the likelihood of owning CVLI increased with self-discipline and decreased with risk tolerance. |

Does Personality Predict Financial Risk Tolerance of Pre-Retiree Baby Boomers? Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance 23 (September 2019): 124-132. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214635019300358 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Financial Behaviors/Decisions; Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits; Risk-Taking Financial risk tolerance is an important concept that helps financial planners recommend financial products to their clients. As the baby boomer generation approaches retirement, research to determine how these individuals perceive financial risk tolerance has grown exponentially. The present study examines the relationship between financial risk tolerance and the Big Five personality traits (also known as the Five-Factor Model), which include extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience, in the baby boomer generation. We argue that the influences of Big-five personality traits are consistent in baby-boomer generation. We find that baby boomers with a higher degree of extraversion, emotional stability, and openness to experience are more risk tolerant, while those with a higher degree of agreeableness and conscientiousness have lower risk tolerance. |

The Effect of Experiencing a Death on Life Insurance Ownership Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance 22 (June 2019): 170-176. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214635018302314 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Insurance; Trauma/Death in family Though there is a huge literature on the demand for life insurance, it heavily focuses on demographic and economic factors. This study fills the gap in the current literature by incorporating psychological factor such as an experiencing a death in family members. The goal of this paper is to investigate the effect of death experience on life insurance ownership. Using a data from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we find evidence that there is positive association between a death experience and life insurance demand. Also, the model is better explained when both situational and dispositional factors are jointly examined. |
