The CEPR Network on Household Finance and the Research Centre of the Deutsche Bundesbank are organising the 11th European Workshop on Household Finance on 6‑8 May 2026 in Eltville am Rhein.

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 research workshop will include a Research-Policy-Practice evening event organised by the Bundesbank Research Centre on 6 May on the topic “Financial Advice in the Era of AI”. 

The workshop will include state-of-the-art research on household financial behaviour and on how this is influenced by households' other choices, monetary policy, government policies, and the overall economic environment.

We solicit papers in the following areas, but other related areas may also be considered:

• Patterns of asset allocation and debt behaviour over the life cycle
• 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
