The 3rd Arne Ryde Workshop on "Micro data meet Macro models: Household Finance" will take place at the Lund Grand Hotel in Lund, Sweden, on February 5-6, 2027. The Workshop is organized with the generous support of the Arne Ryde Foundation.

This year’s edition aims to bring together researchers studying household financial decision-making through micro data, structural modeling, or both. The workshop also seeks to strengthen ties between Scandinavian institutions — well known for their access to rich Nordic registry data — and the broader European and global research community working in household finance. 

The program will include papers studying questions around household consumption, saving, portfolio choice, and borrowing over the life cycle; housing and mortgage decisions; retirement and long-term financial planning; financial distress and default; financial literacy and education; subjective expectations and beliefs; behavioral and cognitive determinants of financial behavior; determinants of heterogeneity in household financial decision-making;the impact of technology and financial innovation; and the aggregate implications of household financial behavior. 

The confirmed keynote speakers will be:

• Professor Tarun Ramadorai (London School of Economics)

• Professor Camelia Kuhnen (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Kenan-Flagler Business School)

The Call For Papers is now open. The deadline for submission is 23:59 CET, October 18, 2026.
