Two Essays in Finance: Cultural Finance and Behavioral Financial Literacy

This dissertation examines two inter-related topics in finance: Cultural Finance and Behavioral Finance. Both Cultural Finance and Behavioral Finance assume that humans are boundedly rational or irrational, thus rejecting traditional or neoclassical notions of pure rationality. Specifically, this dissertation considers how the values and attitudes of nations influence financial decision-making of countries and companies (Cultural Finance) and how cognitive and social factors influence the financial decision-making of households and individuals (Behavioral Finance).
