Abstract:
We document a significant gender gap in over-indebtedness, as we find women to be less likely to become over-indebted even after controlling for risk attitude, financial literacy and socio-demographic characteristics. However, once we account for loan purposes the gender gap diminishes. Our findings highlight the importance to account for loan purposes when analyzing individuals' debt behavior.
