The Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE organizes the
10th Anniversary SAFE Household Finance Workshop
to be held on 11-12 June 2026 at Dolce Hotel & Resort, Bad Nauheim
(Elvis-Presley-Platz 1, 61231 Bad Nauheim)
Keynote speakers:
John Campbell, Morton L. and Carole S. Olshan Professor of Economics at Harvard University
Michael Haliassos, Professor and Chair for Macroeconomics and Finance, Goethe University Frankfurt
Annamaria Lusardi, Professor of Finance (by courtesy), Stanford Graduate School of Business
Martin Weber, Senior Professor, Mannheim University
Deadline: 28 February 2025
The aim of the workshop is to strengthen our community and to provide a platform for discussing ongoing research in household finance.
We particularly encourage submissions from junior researchers. The majority of program slots will be allocated to untenured scholars. Papers that are at an early stage (but completed) will receive priority. Please do not submit papers that have already been accepted, or are close to being accepted, for publication in a journal.
Awards for Young Researchers
The Behavioral Finance Association will sponsor awards for the Best Paper Presentation of the Day and the Best Discussion of the Day.
Winners will be elected by all participants after the presentations. A young researcher is defined as a PhD student or a scholar/professor who completed their doctoral degree no more than five years prior to the workshop.
Dates and Venue
The two-day workshop will take place from Thursday, 11 June, to Friday, 12 June 2026, at the Dolce Hotel & Resort in Bad Nauheim (approx. 40 km from Frankfurt am Main).
As the purpose of this workshop is to foster networking and exchange, we do not plan to offer a virtual or hybrid format.
Local organizer: Christine Laudenbach (Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE)
Paper Submission
All participants with an accepted paper are expected to serve as discussants.
We expect all participants to attend the full workshop on both days.

Authors of accepted papers will be notified by the end of April 2026.
Conference Fee
The conference fee is €200. PhD students are exempt from the conference fee.
SAFE will provide additional funding for attendees’ lodging and meals.
Please feel free to distribute this call for papers among colleagues who may be interested.
