Call for Papers: CEPR 10th European Workshop on Household Finance

Conference dates

07 May 2025 - 09 May 2025

Location

Copenhagen

Description

The CEPR Network on Household Finance and Copenhagen Business School are organising the 10th European Workshop on Household Finance on 7-9 May 2025 in Copenhagen.

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 research workshop will include an evening event organised by Steffen Andersen. 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

The organisers encourage submissions from PhD students in household finance. Students must apply online stating that all co-authors in the paper are PhD students and supply their CV. Students should note that, from 2020 on, the best student paper prize will only be awarded once a year at the Household Finance Conference which takes place every Autumn. So, students who want their paper to be considered for the prize should submit it to the Autumn conference, but they are welcome to submit another paper to the Spring workshop.
