Integrating menopausal neurocognitive and psychosocial dynamics into economic behavior: the Behavioral Finance-Menopausal Cognition (BF-MC) Model (MARiE WP2A study)

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to address how the menopause transition affects women's financial decision-making by proposing the Behavioral Finance-Menopausal Cognition (BF-MC) Model, which integrates neurocognitive, emotional, and sociostructural changes with behavioral finance theory. Through a synthesis of findings from the MARIE WP2a program, they identify key domains influencing financial behavior, emphasizing the need for empirical validation of these theoretical pathways. This model seeks to reframe midlife women's financial behavior as a dynamic process shaped by various biopsychosocial factors rather than merely a deficit.
