bstract: Stock market participation is an issue which has been studied since the 90’s, but academics are still worried about it nowadays because of the persistence of low participation rates. This paper studies the factors which drive stock market participation through probit estimations. The dependent variable groups direct stock market participation (having stocks) and indire ct stock market participation (having mutual funds participations). The results show that age, education, risk attitudes and use of internet are key variables to explain household stock market participation in Spain.
