Abstract

Using survey data for ten Eastern European countries, we conduct a cohort-based analysis of how communist ideology affects the gender gap in financial literacy. We show that gender equality in financial literacy does not decrease as the communist legacy recedes.

Keywords: Financial Literacy, Gender gap, Communism, Cohort analysis
