Consumer Credit Behavior in the Digital Context: A Bibliometric Analysis and Literature Review
Carlsson, Hanna; Larsson, Stefan; Svensson, Lupita; Åström, Fredrik
Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning, v28 n1 p76-94 2017
This literature review seeks to map the state of research on the effects of digitization on personal financial behavior and management through a bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review. The findings indicate that current knowledge is primarily based on perspectives of actors in commerce and systems development. More research is needed on how personal financial behavior change in relation to digital technology, the vulnerability of children and adolescents, and the links between changes in credit behavior and indebtedness. Financial counseling could benefit from an awareness of young adults vulnerability as digital consumers and an extended perception of financial literacy that encompasses requirements of digital society. Policymakers need to be aware of the consequences of digital measurability.
