What does your personality reveal about your financial behavior? Evidence from a FinTech experiment
- We co-operate with a German financial account aggregator (FAA) and conduct a personality survey with 1,700 app users. We combine the survey results with their anonymized transaction data and investigate links between personality traits and spending behavior. Observing many lottery windfalls in our dataset and treating these incidents as real-life experiments, we ask: what do individuals do with unexpected income changes? Our findings suggest that highly extraverted individuals tend to overspend in response to lottery windfalls.
