文摘

Gender differences in investment behavior are investigated along three dimensions: decision process, risk preferences and actual portfolio. Use of a wide set of socio-demographic and economic variables to assess the incremental power of gender. After socio-demographic and economic variables are controlled for, gender still explains many differences in the investment decision process, risk preferences and portfolio characteristics. No gender difference emerges in the quality of the portfolio, specifically measured by liquidity and diversification proxies.
