Abstract

We study the relationship between financial literacy and retirement planning in China. We find that higher scores on the financial literacy questions are associated not only with a higher probability of retirement planning, but also a higher propensity to actively use financial markets for retirement preparation. These relationships are robust to taking into account the endogeneity of financial literacy.
