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 a Research-Policy-Practice evening event organised by the Bundesbank Research Centre on 6 May on the topic “Financial Advice in the Era of AI”. The workshop will include state-of-the-art research on household financial behaviour and on how this is influenced by households’ other choices, monetary policy, government policies, and the overall economic environment.

- Patterns of asset allocation and debt behaviour over the life cycle

- Behavioural approaches to household finances
- Financial literacy and financial education programmes
- Trust, subjective expectations, pessimism, and financial decisions

- 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
Submission:
The deadline for submissions is 29 January 2025, 6pm UK time. Expenses of paper presenters and discussants will be covered, unless they indicate that they are able to cover their own expenses. Limited support funds for PhD students will also be available. Applications for attendance without a paper presentation will be possible once the programme is finalised, and available places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The submission fee for each paper is 50 euro and proceeds will contribute to covering organisational costs borne by the CEPR RPN.
