2025 Georgia Tech - Atlanta Fed Household Finance Conference

The 2025 Georgia Tech – Atlanta Fed Household Finance Conference is a high-level research workshop co-organized by Georgia Tech's Scheller College of Business and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, focusing on the financial decisions, constraints, and outcomes of households. Topics typically include consumer credit markets, student debt, mortgage lending, financial literacy, retirement savings, and the distributional effects of monetary and fiscal policy on household balance sheets.

The conference serves as a meeting point for academic economists, financial economists, and policy-oriented researchers at the Federal Reserve and other central banks who want rigorous empirical evidence to inform both scholarship and policy. Graduate students in finance and economics benefit from exposure to cutting-edge applied microeconomics and the policy translation process. The Atlanta Fed's involvement ensures that academic insights are connected to real-world regulatory and monetary policy questions.
