CEPR Household Finance Seminar Series - Call for Papers for 2024

We are pleased to announce that the CEPR Household Finance Seminar Series is opening submissions for its 2024 series.

The CEPR Research and Policy Network (RPN) on Household Finance launched the online seminar series on Household Finance in the summer of 2020. Structured like a regular seminar, with light-touch moderation and opportunities to ask questions during the presentation. Meeting once a month on the second Friday on Zoom, the seminars are 1 hour long with clarifying questions during the presentation and a Q&A to finish.

The next Seminar is on 9 February, with Lu Liu (University of Pennsylvania) presenting Mortgage Lock-In, Mobility, and Labor Reallocation.

If you would like to register to attend the Series without submitting a paper you can register on Zoom here.

If you wish to submit a paper please see the detailed process below. The deadline to submit is 6.00 pm UK TIME on Friday, 1 March 2024.
