  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 indirect 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.

  A participación no mercado bolsista é un tema de estudo con varias décadas de historia, aínda hoxe en discusión, como resposta á persistencia de baixas taxas de participción. Neste traballo analízanse os determinantes da participación no devandito mercado mediante modelos probit, onde a variable dependente recolle a tenza directa de accións e/ou a participación indirecta a través de fondos de investimento. Os resultados amosan que a idade, educación, preferencias de risco e uso de internet resultan ser variables chaves á hora de explicar a participación dos fogares no mercado de valores na España.
