Research may help improve consumer financial literacy

The eyes DO have it--at least, they indicate who is more likely to have a bigger nest egg, according to research co-led by DIBS Faculty Network Member Scott Huettel, PhD, Psychology, and Neurobiology Graduate Student Dianna Amasino. Other authors are Postdoctoral Associate Nicolette Sullivan, PhD, Psychology, and Rachel Kranton, James B. Duke Professor of Economics. The study appeared online Feb. 25. in Nature Human Behaviour.
