Abstract
Based on a sample of university students, we provide field and laboratory evidence that a small scale training intervention has both a statistically and economically significant effect on subjective and objective assessments of financial knowledge. We show also that the intervention increases self-assessed more than actual financial knowledge.
Keywords: Financial education, Financial literacy, Planning, Investment attitudes
