The Department of Finance at the Aalto University School of Business organizes the inaugural Lapland Household Finance Summit in Levi (Kittilä), Lapland, Finland on March 22-23, 2023. The objective of this boutique conference is to present state-of-the-art academic research on topics related to household finance. There will be one track of presentations for two days. The relatively
small scale and exotic location of the conference will not also provide an environment for in-depth
discussions, but also an opportunity to enjoy winter activities in beautiful scenery, and with some
luck, a possibility to see Aurora Borealis.TOPICS: We welcome submissions from all areas related to household finance. Complete papers in
an early stage will also be considered. Empirical, theoretical, and experimental papers are all
welcome. Sample topics on household finance include, but are not limited to:
• Stock market participation
• Portfolio and security choice
• Personality, health, cognition, biology, and household finance
• Debt behavior, financial distress, default, bankruptcy, and debt resettlement
• Saving for retirement and financial decision-making of the elderly
• Financial literacy, financial education, and interventions for better financial decision-making
• Expectations, beliefs, and preferences
• Financial advice and advisors
• Climate change, sustainability, and household financial decision-making
• Machine-learning, algorithms, and data-driven household finance
