It is interesting to investigate the investment behaviour of housewives of developing countries (including Nepal) in stock markets. I'm collaborating with my MBA student to examine the impact of 4 behavioural traits: namely, herding behaviour, over-confidence bias, ability bias and narrow framing bias on investment decisions of housewives in Nepal. Could any one help us with good research papers and expert opinions/ comments.
Dear Arhan.
Very interesting study that you are doing. I do not know about Nepal but in India, particularly middle class, autonomous decisions by women in Investment are limited and confined to things like Gold or livestock (in rural areas). Their investment in other assets is guided by men. Of course, for the new gen, this will be different, and an area i must admit I am not familiar with.
Dear Prof. Emmanuel Vijayanand Murray, thank you for your precious comments. It's been about 4-5 years that almost one third of secondary market investors visiting regularly the stock broker offices in Nepal are house-wives. It is a highly surprising phenomenon in stock investment sector in Nepal in the recent days. This has prompted me to sashay into this new area of housewives' investment behaviours in Nepal. Thank you
a very interesting topic and area, but here in Northern Nigeria, researches in this area are scanty, if any; Likewise, there are few women investors who are usually motivated either by government policy, or closeness to capital market operators and participants. Otherwise they rather invest in landed assets and ordinary wares even if the returns are low.
Dear Prof. Umar Aminu, thank you for your nice comments. It's been about 4-5 years that almost one third of secondary market investors visiting regularly the stock broker offices in Nepal are house-wives. It is a highly surprising phenomenon in stock investment sector in Nepal in the recent days. The population of housewives in the secondary market is on high rise in Nepal, an underdeveloped stock market. This has prompted me to try my hand at this new area of housewives' investment behaviours in Nepal. Thank you Prof Umar
Thanks Dr Sthapit. A suggestion i will make is to try to liase with intellectuals from the south of Nigeria especially the South- West. They have very strong and active market women who are serious investors though with the current lull, they might have piped down. Additionally, majority of them are housewives and traditionally, they are the ones that take care of the family's daily needs as well as expenses. All the best!
Thank you Prof. Umar Aminu, I sincerely appreciate your idea. Thenk you.
It would be more appreciable if you could advise me a couple of papers in the captioned topic at your disposal. Thank you very much
Dr, you can give me an address to forward the very little i have now, but i can scout more for you afterwards
Dear Umar Aminu sir, my email address is [email protected]. I look forward to receiving those papers from you. Thank you in advance.
