Abstract
This paper explores the socio-demographic characteristics of impact investors and the drivers influencing their choices. An experiment involving 602 participants (financial experts and non-experts) used a multiple-choice game with varying investment scenarios and incentives. Findings reveal that expert investors and women are more likely to choose impact investments, with the tendency increasing with age. Fiscal incentives and education level showed no significant impact. Information on actual social impact, particularly visual aids, significantly promoted socially oriented decisions.
