CEPR European Conference on Household Finance 2024
The CEPR Research and Policy Network (RPN) on Household Finance with the support of the PhD programme at EDHEC, the National Bank of Denmark, the Central Bank of Cyprus and Deutsche Bundesbank are organising the 2024 CEPR European Conference on Household Finance that will take place in Cyprus. 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. In addition to the two-day conference taking place on 19-20 September, a CEPR Research-Policy-Practice event will be organised by the local organisers and will take place on 18 September 2024.
The organisers particularly encouraged submissions from PhD students in household finance planning to go on the job market in Winter 2025. Students must apply online stating that they are a PhD student and supply their CV. Top submissions, written exclusively by students, will be included in the regular conference programme and in the candidates for the best student paper prize, awarded by the CEPR Research and Policy Network on Household Finance.
