Influencia de los rasgos de personalidad en el conocimiento financiero de los estudiantes de posgrado de EAFIT Bogotá

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to measure the level of financial knowledge of EAFIT Bogota’s graduate students and investigate how this is influenced by sociodemographic characteristics and personality traits. A survey was carried out, built based on the literature, which consisted of three sections: sociodemographic characteristics, financial knowledge, and personality traits. Additionally, arriving at a definitive multiple linear regression model, estimating the parameters by the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model, it is concluded that men, students under 30 years of age, those with an estimated level of monthly income higher than 10 million pesos, those studying the first semesters, students who have a low degree of extraversion and who have a high degree of agreeableness are likely to have a higher level of financial knowledge compared to their respective peers.
