The CEPR Research and Policy Network (RPN) on Household Finance and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission are organising the 2022 CEPR European Conference on Household Finance that will take place in Ispra, Italy.
We are writing to invite you to attend the CEPR European Conference on Household Finance 2022 on 5-7 October 2022 in Ispra or to join online. 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 full programme can be found on the conference webpage here.
We would also like to invite you to attend a CEPR Research-Policy-Panel "Inflation is baaack!" organised by the Michael Weber (University of Chicago Booth School of Business and CEPR) and will take place on Wednesday 5 October 2022 at 4.30pm-6:30pm CEST.
Following years of low inflation levels, Western economies are experiencing a rapid increase in prices, prompting the notion of the “return of inflation”. The panel will analyse and discuss the recent price developments, their drivers, and heterogeneous effects in the cross section of households and how inflation affects households’ finances and their purchasing power. The panel will also discuss in detail how inflation expectations can be a driver of future inflationary pressures and how inflation expectations relate to portfolio choices, debt decisions, and wage bargaining and labor supply. After a brief overview and introduction to the topic by Michael Weber, each panellist, joining either onsite or online, will present for about 10 minutes, followed by a moderated discussion. There will be an opportunity for the online and onsite audiences to submit questions to the panel.
The confirmed speakers for this policy panel are:
- Francesco D’Acunto (Associate Research Professor of Finance at Georgetown University)
- Christian Keller (Head of Economics Research at Barclays Investment Bank)
- Barbara Kauffmann (Director for Employment and Social Governance, Analysis in the Directorate of Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission DG EMPL)
