In Spring 2018 Knut Wicksell Centre (KWC) for Financial Studies at the School of Economics and Management at Lund University offers a Doctoral Course in
Household Finance with
Dr. Kaveh Majlesi (Lund University & KWC)
The course offers a graduate level introduction to the field of Household Finance.
Rather than providing an exhaustive overview of the field, the course focuses in depth on selected topics, in particular, Households’ allocation of wealth in general and risky assets in particular, consumption decisions, and borrowing decisions. In addition, the course reviews the literature on risk preferences and the intersection of household finance and behavioral finance. The course aims at training students to develop new ideas for their own research. Course materials will be distributed one month in advance, in order for students to have enough time to prepare.
