This book was released on 2010 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stock Market Game[TM] is an educational program supported by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Foundation for Investor Education. The program is designed to teach students the importance of saving and investing by building their financial literacy skills. The primary focus of the study was to measure the impact of playing the Stock Market Game on student achievement in investor knowledge and mathematics. Since it is expected that a supplemental education program will improve students' understanding of program-related content, they expected that students who played The Stock Market Game would improve their knowledge of topics related to savings and investing. A review of program content, however, revealed the mathematical nature of The Stock Market Game, suggesting another possible expectation related to student performance. Namely, is the mathematical component of the program material strong enough to affect students' mathematics skills? The authors designed the study in order to answer two research questions about impact: (1) What is the impact of The Stock Market Game on student academic achievement in mathematics for students in Grades 4-10?; and (2) What is the impact of The Stock Market Game on student investor knowledge for students in Grades 4-10? The findings suggest that this supplemental program designed to teach students about an important topic, one that many states are beginning to consider a requirement--saving and investing, can help students to learn, not only about topics within financial literacy, but also core aspects of mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial literacy and financial education are not new topics, even though interest in these topics among policymakers, financial authorities, and academics continues to grow. The Routledge Handbook of Financial Literacy provides a comprehensive reference work that addresses both research perspectives and practical applications to financial education. This is the first volume to summarize the milestones of research in financial literacy from multiple perspectives to offer an overview. The book is organized into six parts. The first three parts provide a conceptual framework, which discusses what financial literacy is, how it should be measured, and explains why it represents a relevant topic and effective tool in enhancing decision-making among consumers as well as consumer protection strategies. Part IV addresses the connection between financial education and financial literacy, with chapters about financial education in school settings as well as for adults. This part includes an analysis of the role of Fintech and the use of gamification in financial education. Part V is a collection of contributions that analyze financial literacy and financial education around the world, with a focus on geographical areas including the U.S., South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa. This part also considers how financial literacy should be addressed in the case of Islamic finance. The concluding part of the book examines how financial literacy is related to other possible approaches to consumer finance and consumer protection, addressing the relationships between financial literacy and behavioral economics, financial well-being, and financial inclusion. This volume is an indispensable reference for scholars who are new to the topic, including undergraduate and graduate students, and for experienced researchers who wish to enrich their knowledge, policymakers seeking a broader understanding and an international perspective, and practitioners who seek knowledge of best practices as well as innovative approaches.

Download or read book Economic Literacy and Money Illusion written by Helena Chytilova and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of money illusion, a recently resurrected phenomenon of behavioral economics, is a real fact of economic life, the potential role of which should no longer be dismissed. Despite money illusion being utterly suppressed by mainstream economists, small deviations from rationality, together with trends in behavioral economics, alleviate the denial of money illusion induced by the rational expectations revolution. This book argues that money illusion seems to be a ubiquitous phenomenon, affecting various areas such as financial markets, housing markets, labor markets, consumption-saving decisions, and even development at the aggregate level induced by coordination issues. Furthermore, in light of the educational efforts of central banks and other institutions, it is worth considering whether solid economic training would provide guidance for the public regarding their decision-making and thereby alleviate the effects of money illusion. The emerging field of experimental economics provides a unique opportunity for us to verify the presence of money illusion. Specifically, attention is devoted to the experimental investigation of reduction in the direct and indirect effects of money illusion with respect to the level of economic literacy acquired through economic education. Economic Literacy and Money Illusion will be of interest to the general audience and to those who are interested in behavioral economics, economics education, and experimental economics, as well as to policy makers and institutions. Last but not least, it will help develop students’ interest in alternative economic theories. NB. The research and writing of this book was made possible with the support of the University of Economics, Prague, Faculty of Economics, Department of Economics.

Book excerpt: The stock market is in the news every day, and even people who do not personally trade securities or intend to make a fortune by trading stocks have an interest in knowing something about the stock market. By giving students an understanding of the stock market, we are preparing them to deal knowledgeably with an area of our society that has a vast effect on their lives. Whether or not they choose later in life to trade stocks on an individual basis, they will have the knowledge that will enable them to understand this aspect of the economy and how their personal economic pictures are affected by the larger economic landscape.

This easy-to-use guide includes: information about all aspects of company ownership; information on stocks, stock prices, the stock market, buying and selling stocks, and forces that affect stock prices; a minisimulation that can be completed in 1 week; and a longer simulation that follows the real stock market for several months. All information is presented on reproducible pages, illustrated with examples, and followed by exercises that let students apply their knowledge. This motivating unit will give students insights they will carry with them into their adult lives. This combination curriculum guide/simulation has it all.

Download or read book An Introduction to Stocks Trading Markets and Corporate Behavior written by Clifford D. Wright and published by Wickford Bay Publishing and Media. This book was released on 2015-01-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lack of financial knowledge is not only an economic consideration, but also a social concern garnering greater attention from school administrators, governmental agencies and policymakers. This concern highlights the fact that widespread gaps in levels of financial literacy exist, and at risk are those who are least familiar with complex savings and investment vehicles, and with financial planning concepts and their long-term benefits. Today’s complex financial services market offers investors an endless array of products and services to meet individual financial needs, and the degree of choice requires the knowledge to evaluate the options, and the ability to identify those that best suit individual needs and circumstances. This book collates a wealth of expertise and insight, and aims to provide a new generation a higher understanding of the various investment products and services in the marketplace, and to increase the likelihood of attaining a secure financial future. In addition, the material will educate those interested in increasing their aptitude about financial choices, and will assist in gaining a greater understanding of the benefits of saving through securities investments. The content provides knowledge that will empower individuals to make better-informed investment decisions, assist in planning for their future, and will make a contribution to creating a sound lifestyle during working years and through-out retirement. The curriculum focuses on relevant knowledge, and provides ample opportunities for an integrated learning experience. Throughout the program of study, students will not only learn important concepts, but will have ample opportunities through coursework and assignments to apply these concepts to real and simulated practice situations. On the high school and undergraduate levels, this supplemental book shall appropriately pair with courses that include Math Applications in the Real World, Personal Financial Planning, Introduction to Investments, Money and Finance, or Money and Banking. At the graduate level, the book compliments courses which provide analysis of financial instruments, financial markets, or insurance and investment companies. Courses that are commonly offered on the graduate level include Financial Management, Investment Analysis, or Personal Financial Planning. Prerequisites are not required, as these are lower level classes. Many of the modules are commonly taught at most Universities – and several of the classes are required for Business and Finance majors. A few points should be made regarding how the instructional aids contained in this manual can be used. Firstly, a section at the end of the chapter contains questions, self-test problems and case analyses. This Guide provides answers to the questions, problems, and cases. PowerPoint slides are included to aid the pedagogy. We encourage educators to modify the slides in the manner that best fits the course. Instructors can contact the publisher or the author to request supplemental material. Secondly, since there is no single best way to teach a financial literacy course – the optimal class structure will vary with students' backgrounds, the instructors' interests, the number of students, and the fit of the content in the overall curriculum. Volume 1 consists of subject content, commonly used abbreviations, core analysis, exercises, case analyses and an extensive glossary. Future volumes will cover bonds, mutual funds and annuities. We trust readers will find this guide to be a valuable resource for gaining insight and best practices relevant to saving and investment participation. The Author, Clifford D. Wright

Download or read book Reframing Financial Literacy written by Thomas A. Lucey and published by IAP. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarship related to financial and consumer education largely concerns itself with the acquisition, management, and growth of financial resources.

Reframing Financial Literacy fills this need by providing literature that examines a broad view of financial literacy by connecting financial practice with issues of citizenship, along with personal and professional identity. It relates these issues to educational theory and practice to provide the reader with information about the relevance of improving social worth, while bettering financial wealth. Boasting 14 previously unpublished chapters from an international slate of authors, and classroom adaptable lesson plans for each chapter, Reframing Financial Literacy will interest both teachers and researchers with its exciting classroom activities and its provocative content. This is a must work that no education professional should be without.
