: Legal Theory BlogWillis on Financial Literacy Education
By Lawrence Solum
Lauren E. Willis (Loyola Law School Los Angeles) has posted Evidence and Ideology in Assessing the Effectiveness of Financial Literacy Education (Journal of Consumer Affairs, Vol. 42, May 2008) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

This review (1) sets forth the model of financial literacy education underlying public support for these programs today, (2) identifies pervasive and serious limitations in existing empirical research used by policymakers as evidence of the effectiveness of this education, and (3) recommends a number of alternative public policies suggested by the existing research.
