摘要：Public policies mandate fnancial education for fnancially distressed consumers in a variety of contexts, including bankruptcy and foreclosure, as well as for consumers faced with impending fnancial decisions. Financial education and counseling are provided in the workplace, in schools, by community groups, and as part of public programs. The impact of fnancial education on credit behavior is relatively untested. This article summarizes a randomized feld study that evaluates a highly targeted mandatory fnancial educa- tion curriculum for very low-income clients in a housing voucher program.
