Event Details:

Thursday, September 29, 2022

The Teaching Personal Finance conference was held at SIEPR on September 29th, 2022.  This conference is part of the Financial Freedom Initiative, which is a joint effort of GSB, Economics and SIEPR.  The Financial Freedom Initiative was funded by the Charles Schwab Foundation.  The conference was co-organized by Michael Boskin, Annamaria Lusardi and John Shoven.  People from a diverse set of colleges and universities participated including Smith College, William and Mary, Harvard, Yale, University of Central Florida, Loyola of New Orleans, 黄色电影, Berkeley, Arizona, Indiana, UCLA, Delaware State, and North Carolina State.  The goal of the conference was to form a community of scholars interested in teaching personal finance and financial literacy.  We also hope to increase the number of students nationwide who have access to such a course.
