摘要 | Attitudes towards capital markets and stock-market investment still differ widely between Western and formerly communist countries, but there is also significant heterogeneity within the East. We argue that the speed of convergence is predicted by the quality of life-time experiences under communism. Utilizing novel German brokerage and bank data we document that, decades after Reunification, East Germans invest significantly less in stocks and hold more negative views on capital markets if they had unrelated positive experiences, e.g., from Olympic games or living in celebrated showcase cities. Results reverse for East Germans with negative experiences, like environmental pollution and religious oppression. |
