Investigators at University of Roma Tre Report Findings in CDC and FDA (Exploring the Link Between Financial Literacy and Business Interruption Insurance: Evidence From Italian Micro-enterprises): CDC and FDA

2024 MAR 29 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at CDC & FDA Daily -- New research on CDC and FDA is the subject of a report. According to news originating from Rome, Italy, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “This article examines the relationship between financial literacy and business interruption (BI) insurance among Italian entrepreneurs.”

Financial support for this research came from Universit degli Studi Roma Tre.

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Roma Tre, “Following an increase in unexpected shocks, such as COVID-19 and geopolitical conflicts, a high level of BI risk is expected to persist, especially among small firms, which play a key role in the Italian economy. Using a Bank of Italy 2021 survey of 1998 non-financial firms with fewer than 10 employees, we show a significant positive association between the level of the entrepreneur’s financial literacy and the purchase of BI insurance.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Our results highlight the key role of financial literacy in shaping risk management strategies and are robust to different model specifications, also addressing endogeneity concerns.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
