Conference
U.S.-U.K. Conference on Behavioral Finance and Public Policy
| Date: | May 1, 2009 Pre-conference Dinner April 30th |
|---|---|
| Location: | Washington, D.C. |
We are pleased to invite you to participate in an unusual meeting of the Behavioral Finance Forum (BeFi) May 1 in Washington, D.C. As you know, the turmoil in the financial markets compelled us to cancel the 2009 meeting in Miami. Instead we now propose a one day meeting in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss new policy options in consumer finance with staff and members of congress and other policy makers. In view of the change in administration and the call for a rethinking of financial regulation and the structure of the pension system, this is a very timely event.
Topics include:
- Credit cards
- 401(k)s
- Mortgages
- And possibly other financial products
As always we have invited top-academics to pitch new ideas in the area of consumer finances. We are pleased to announce that Richard Thaler of the University of Chicago has agreed to present the first proposal. A special feature of the conference will be that representatives of the United Kingdom will discuss new retirement products that are considered in the UK. These options are also highly relevant to the U.S.
In order for us plan accordingly, please reserve now to indicate how many representatives from your organization will be able to attend. There will be no charge for participation, but we would like to limit the number of attendees to no more than two per organization.
