ECB BdF Conference on Household Finance & Consumption 2017

La Banque centrale européenne organise tous les deux ans une conférence biennale sur la finance et la consommation des ménages, dans le but d'encourager les recherches empiriques et théoriques sur la manière dont l'hétérogénéité des ménages influe sur l'accumulation des actifs et de la dette, les comportements de consommation/épargne et la transmission de la politique monétaire. La conférence se concentre sur les travaux utilisant les données individuelles au niveau des ménages, avec un intérêt particulier pour les données de l'Enquête de l’Eurosystème sur les finances et la consommation des ménages (HFCS). La prochaine conférence, organisée avec la Banque de France, aura lieu à Paris, du 14 au 15 décembre.

This fifth edition of the conference is jointly organized by the ECB and the Banque de France. It aims at fostering empirical and theoretical research on how household heterogeneity affects the accumulation of assets and debt, consumption/saving behaviour and the transmission of monetary policy. The focus of the Conference is on research that makes use of household level data, with a special interest in the data from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS).

Luigi Guiso, Monika Piazzesi, Thomas Piketty, Luigi Pistaferri, Martin Schneider and Gianluca Violante will participate as invited speakers. For information on past conferences on household finance and consumption, on access to the HFCS data, and on the survey in general, see http://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/economic-research/research-networks/html/researcher_hfcn.en.html.
