Barranquilla, Stock Market, Financial Culture, CitizensAbstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the level of knowledge and citizen participation in Barranquilla with respect to the stock market so that we can characterize the investing profile based on complementary information in a social-economical level. The literature and the papers that analyze in a thorough way the behavior of micro-agents of the stock market are relatively scarce, therefore, the results of this research suppose and advancement in this field. The empiric enquiry and the application of a tool designed for this purpose, allowed us to identify the factors that contribute with the development and limitation of this market. The results reveal a bigger appropriation in stock market knowledge among citizens with a better financial and formative position with respect to the rest of the agents that represent meaningful backwardness. There is also an evident negative correlation between the level of income and stock investment. In this sense, the general conclusions underline the need to establish educational and financial strategies directed to promoting a better participation that promotes and generates interest on financial matters, particularly in the stock market; hence the importance of promoting training, and promotion of the financial culture and a better access to investment channels for the citizens.
