Call for Papers
CEPR European Conference on Household Finance 2020
Online Webinars
9-11 September 2020
Submission Deadline: Monday 8 June 2020
The CEPR Network on Household Finance and BI Norwegian Business School with the support of the Think Forward Initiative (TFI) are organising the 2020 CEPR European Conference on Household Finance that will take place completely virtually in the form of online webinars. The objective is to present state-of-the-art empirical and theoretical research on household financial behaviour and on how it is influenced by other choices, government policies, and the overall economic environment. In addition to the three-day online webinars taking place on 9-11 September 2020, a CEPR-TFI online webinar event on “Climate Change: Financial Implications for Households”, organised by Johannes Stroebel (New York University), will take place on 9 September 2020.
The organisers particularly encourage submissions from PhD students in household finance planning to go on the job market in Winter 2021. Students must apply online stating that they are a PhD student and supply their CV. Top submissions, written exclusively by students, will be included in the regular conference programme and in the candidates for the best student paper prize, awarded by the CEPR Network on Household Finance and sponsored by TFI. A number of past awardees and contestants have moved on to assistant professor positions in top academic institutions globally.
We solicit papers in the following areas, but other related areas may also be considered:
• Asset allocation and debt behaviour over the life cycle
• Financing retirement and the demographic transition
• Consumer indebtedness, financial distress, and default decisions
• Behavioural approaches to household finance
• Financial literacy and financial education programs
• Trust, subjective expectations, pessimism, and financial decisions
• International comparisons of household finances using micro-data
• Financial advice and legal protection of investors and borrowers
