Titel: Risktagande mellan män och kvinnor.

Bakgrund: Skillnader i risktagande mellan män och kvinnor är ett tidigare väl undersökt ämne, men det har inte gjorts några nyare studier på den svenska marknaden. Denna studie undersöker skillnaderna i risktagande mellan män och kvinnor, både inom finansiella investeringar samt risktagande i vardagen i Sverige.

Syfte: Studien förklarar könsskillnader i risktagande i finansiella investeringar samt risktagande i vardagen i Sverige.

Metod: Studien bygger på en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats för att undersöka studiens syfte. Hypoteserna är framtagna utifrån beteendeekonomisk teori, beteendeekonomisk teori, riskaversion och andra demografiska faktorer. En enkät genomfördes för att samla in information om populationen.

Slutsats: Studien visar att det finns en skillnad mellan män och kvinnor i deras risktagande och deras inställning till risk. Studien visar också att det finns ett samband mellan finansiellt risktagande och vardagsrisk.
