D1a Designing Effective Financial Tips to Guide Debt Repayment: Experimental Evidence from Tax Refund Recipients
Key Words
Financial tips, debt management, randomized controlled trial, household finance
Short Description
We administered a randomized controlled trial that provided simple financial tips for low- and moderate-income tax filers after they learned their tax refund amount. The purpose of the experiment was to test whether providing simple financial management tips can impact how households use their tax refunds to manage their debts. Using survey data from two waves of a Household Financial Survey—one conducted after tax-filing and the other six months after tax-filing—we compare survey responses for households in the control and treatment groups to examine whether extremely low-touch financial tips can influence household debt levels and attitudes towards debt.
