The CEPR Network on Household Finance and EDHEC are organising the Sixth European Workshop on Household Finance on 14-16 April 2021 which will take place online with the support of the Think Forward Initiative (TFI). 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 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.
The research workshop will include a CEPR-TFI online webinar on “Finance and Inequality”, organised by Laurent Calvet (EDHEC and CEPR) on Wednesday 14 April 2021 at 6pm CEST. The panel will analyse and discuss the implications of financial markets for the dynamics of inequality. We will consider channels such as equity holdings, mortgage markets, education loans, credit card debt, retirement planning, health insurance, and the determinants of financial fragility. We will also explore financial tools that can help households to better manage their finances and curb inequality in asset returns and debt costs. Following a brief introduction by Michael Haliassos, Stefan van Woelderen, and Laurent Calvet, each panellist will present for about 10 minutes, after which Laurent Calvet will moderate a discussion. There will be an opportunity for the audience to submit questions to the panel.
The confirmed speakers include:
Alberto Bisin (New York University and CEPR)
Jeffrey Sachs (Columbia University)
José Scheinkman (Columbia University)
Florian Scheuer (University of Zurich and CEPR)
