How Children with Mental Disabilities Affect Household Investment Decisions
In: American economic review, Band 107, Heft 5, S. 536-540
ISSN: 1944-7981
We analyze how children with mental disabilities influence parental portfolio allocation. We find that risky asset holding decreases among households with special needs children. However, conditional on participating in financial markets, households with special needs children invest a larger portion of their wealth in risky assets. As risky asset holding is a key component of wealth building, these findings have important implications for both policy and household wealth inequality.

EXPLORING THE RELEVANCE OF GENDER AND AGE DIFFERENCES IN THE ASSESSMENT OF SOCIAL FEARS IN ADOLESCENCE
In: Social behavior and personality: an international journal, Band 36, Heft 3, S. 385-390
ISSN: 1179-6391
Although social phobia is one of the most common mental disorders in adolescents, information on the need for normative data is missing. For this reason, this cross-sectional study was aimed at determining if there is a need to have normative data according to age and gender in socially
anxious adolescents. Furthermore, we analyzed whether or not boys and girls differ in the nature of their social fears. The study population comprised 2,543 Spanish-speaking adolescents randomly recruited from 10 schools. The results indicate that there is no need for different normative data
based on age and gender. Moreover, our data also indicate that even though there are quantitative differences between boys and girls, i.e., girls report a higher percentage, a qualitative analysis revealed that boys and girls experience the same social fears and, therefore, the nature of the
social-anxiety provoking situations is the same across gender. Implications for developmental theories and assessment are discussed as well.
