Call for Papers with Dual-Submission Option with JFQA
The CEPR Research and Policy Network on Household Finance and the Swedish House of Finance, with the support of the Swedish House of Finance and the Jan Wallanders och Tom Hedelius Foundation, are organising the 2025 CEPR European Conference on Household Finance which will take place in Stockholm. 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. In addition to the two-day conference taking place on 19-20 September, a CEPR Research-Policy-Practice event will be organised by the local organisers and will take place on 18 September 2025. The event will centre around “Sustainable Household Finance”, with keynote addresses by Caroline Flammer (Columbia University and CEPR) and Michael Greenstone (Chicago University and CEPR).
The organisers particularly encourage submissions from PhD students in household finance planning to go on the job market in Winter 2026. Students must apply online stating that they are a PhD student and supply their CV. Top submissions, written exclusively by students, will be included in the regular conference programme and considered for the best student paper prize, awarded by the CEPR Research and Policy Network on Household Finance. Past awardees have launched highly promising careers, including assistant professor positions in top academic institutions globally.
We welcome papers in the following areas, but other related areas may also be considered:
• 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 finance
• Financial literacy and financial education programs
• Trust, subjective expectations, pessimism, and financial decisions
• International comparisons of household finances using micro-data
• Financial advice and legal protection of investors and borrowers
• Financial innovation and household finances
• Households liquidity and risk management
• Climate change, sustainability, and household finances
Dual-Submission Option with JFQA
The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) offers authors a dual submission option with JFQA, sponsored by the Managing Editor Stephan Siegel, by the same deadline of May 28, 2025, with no additional fee. The authors are encouraged to choose to submit to both the conference and JFQA but can also choose to submit to the conference programme only. Acceptance to the conference does not imply acceptance to JFQA or vice versa.
Authors must indicate if they are interested in having their papers considered under this dual-review option with the JFQA. The option will be available as part of the submission process.
- Dual submissions will be reviewed by the conference organisers and will also be available for consideration by the JFQA.
- Papers submitted for dual consideration must not be under review at another journal or the JFQA nor can they be considered for dual submission if previously rejected by the JFQA.
- At the discretion of the JFQA, a small number of dual submissions will be sent out for a formal referee report.
- Papers rejected at any stage of the conference review process are not considered to have been "rejected" by the JFQA. Thus, authors are permitted to submit a future version of their paper to the JFQA without prejudice.
- Papers submitted under the dual-submission process may not be submitted to another journal (or the JFQA) until the author has been notified of the outcome of the screening by the JFQA.
