Abstract

The ability and knowledge to make financial plans and manage one's own finances, so-called finance literacy, have gained enormously in importance for social participation. This paper conducts an empirical evaluation of finance literacy of students. The evaluation is based on the instruments developed by the OECD and Lusardi and Mitchell (2014). The data sample includes students with and without financial literacy in natural sciences, social sciences and economics. The results show a low level of knowledge, which is slightly below the international average, on financial literacy among students. Men show around three times higher levels of knowledge relative to women. Factors such as job training or a good grade in high school math have a significantly positive effect on financial literacy. Students in economics do not have a higher competence in financial literacy.
