Abstract

With longstanding disparities in wealth disparities among Black households, we aimed to address these through two preregistered experiments (N = 2,672). Study 1 tests warm handoffs and Study 2 tests gain and loss framing. Results suggest that both strategies improve engagement with financial products, particularly among people of color.
