About ESSIM

ESSIM is an annual meeting that brings together about 75 economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. It provides a unique opportunity for macroeconomists from different research institutions and countries to discuss research in a relaxed atmosphere and to develop long-term collaborative relationships.

Participation at ESSIM

CEPR cannot accept all applications to attend ESSIM as demand always exceeds the space available. We try to operate the unavoidable rationing as fairly as possible, and in so doing, we assume that those who participate will at least attend the plenary talks and the talks of at least one programme area. To respond, and if you are CEPR programme fellow / affiliate or have a CEPR online profile, please visit the ESSIM 2019 Call for Papers webpage and indicate whether or not you wish to present a paper or would be willing to act as a discussant. The deadline for replies is 18:00 GMT on Sunday 6 January 2019.

? Financing retirement and the demographic transition

? Consumer indebtedness, financial distress and default decisions

? Behavioural approaches to household finances

? Financial literacy and financial education programmes

? Trust, subjective expectations, pessimism, and financial decisions

? International comparisons of household finances using micro-data

? 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

We particularly encourage submissions by PhD students in advanced stages of their studies. Papers written while the submitter and any coauthors were PhD students will be separately reviewed and eligible for the Best PhD Paper Award. Those wishing to be considered for this separate submission track should clearly state it at the time of submission.
