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. The two-day research conference is preceded by a CEPR-TFI event on “Big Tech and Fin Tech”, organised by Amit Seru (Stanford and CEPR) and Andreas Fuster (Swiss Central Bank and CEPR), at 18:00 on 19 September. The conference will include a dinner talk by Gikas Hardouvelis (University of Pireaus and CEPR and CEPR), former minister of finance, and poster presentations by diaNEOsis on the current stand of the Greek crisis.
