Call for Papers
Submission Deadline: Tuesday 15 January 2019
Fourth European Workshop on Household Finance
10-11 May 2019, Skissernas Museum, Lund, Sweden
The CEPR Network on Household Finance, Lund University and Swedish House of Finance are organising the Fourth European Household Finance Workshop on 10-11 May 2019 with the support of the Arne Ryde Foundation, Think Forward Initiative (TFI), EDHEC PhD in Finance Programme and London Business School. The objective of this workshop is to host presentations and foster interaction between Senior and Junior Researchers working in the area of household finance. The workshop will include state-of-the-art research on household financial behaviour and on how this is influenced by other choices, government policies, and the overall economic environment. We solicit papers in the following areas, but other related areas may also be considered:
• Patterns of 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 finances
• Financial literacy and financial education programmes
• Trust, subjective expectations, pessimism, and financial decisions
• International comparisons of household finances using micro-data
• Cognitive and genetic studies on individual financial performance
• Financial advice and legal protection of investors and borrowers
• The impact of technology on household financial behaviour
We particularly encourage submissions by PhD students in advanced stages of their studies. Papers written while the submitter and any coauthors were PhD students will be separately reviewed and eligible for the Best PhD Paper Award. Those wishing to be considered for this separate submission track should clearly state it at the time of submission.
