Thank you for doing this AmA! I have three somewhat related questions for you.

First, does economic abuse often coincide with other forms of abuse in a relationship?

Second, what motives do the abusers have? Are they different from case to case or is there a common ground?

And last, are there any statistical predictors that people will become economic abusers?

Now I understand. I‘d argue that, although it can be some kind of interpersonal relationship, financial institutions are not very similar to the research OP conducted. It’s more about abusive partners, as you can read here.

My research has focused on the physical, sexual, and economic victimization of women. I’m particularly interested in financial empowerment and financial literacy of women who are victims of domestic and economic abuse.

These are all very interesting questions, but this AmA is about economic abuse in relationships.
