Abstract

In this study, I used three years of hospital admission data in Finland from years 2014-2016 to examine if stock market movements affect investor health. The inspiration was the paper "Worrying about the stock market" of Engelberg and Parsons in Journal of Finance in 2016, which provided me the guidelines for this study. In Finland with small data set, no statistically significant effect was found, but some confidence intervals of magnitude of the effect are presented.
