Household Finance

The department Household Finance conducts research on the financial decisions of private households and the interplay between the supply of and the demand for financial services. The research projects in this area are united by the overarching goal of developing solutions that lead to better financial decisions by households. In addition to the microeconomic perspective, the department also follows a macroeconomic perspective, for example concerning the design of pension systems as a determinant of both the depth and width of capital markets and long-term wealth formation in the household sector of an economy.
