The University of Luxembourg, together with ESSEC Business School, and the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) is organizing a conference on “Sustainable Financial Intermediation in Credit and Housing Markets” on 29 & 30 July 2024 in the Moselle wine region of Luxembourg.

The objective of this conference is to bring together a small group of researchers in a stimulating and pleasant atmosphere, surrounded by nature and the beautiful landscapes of the Moselle valley. We are inviting submissions of both theoretical and empirical papers on topics related to financial intermediation, household finance, and corporate finance. The conference will feature the presentation of 8 papers (& 8 discussions) with a focus on (but not limited to) the financing of “green” assets, a keynote presentation from Adriano Rampini (Duke University, NBER, CEPR, FARFE), and several opportunities for knowledge exchange and networking.
