This research program covers the financial planning of households and small firms. The program is multidisciplinary and the research is mainly of an applied nature.
The program aims at investigating the interaction between both the financial markets and the financial institutions, and households and small firms, i.e. the small actors. More precisely, the program is aiming at analyzing the financial planning and the capital accumulation of the small actors, from a legal as well as an economic perspectiv. Furthermore, we also examine the function and efficiency of financial regulation and the markets for financial services and financial information.
The program is part of the Institute of Economic Research at Lund University and is financed by Sparbanksstiftelsen in Malmoe.
