The CEPR Network on Household Finance and Swedish House of Finance organised the Fifth European Household Finance Workshop on 7-9 May 2020 via online webinars with the support of the Think Forward Initiative (TFI) and EIEF. The objective of this workshop was to host presentations and foster interaction between Senior and Junior Researchers working in the area of household finance. The workshop included 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 three-day research online webinars included a CEPR-TFI online webinar event on “Household Welfare: Do We Need Big Data?”, organised by Paolo Sodini (Stockholm School of Economics and SHoF), at 17:30 on Thursday 7 May 2020.
