Call for Papers: 2025 Stanford Financial Education Symposium! | Department of Economics at Columbia University

The Stanford Initiative for Financial Decision-Making (IFDM) and the National Endowment for Financial Education are happy to announce the 2025 edition of this unique academic event. It will be held on April 10-11, 2025, during Financial Literacy Month in the United States, at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

We welcome research addressing all types of financial education: programs in primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, workplaces, and other venues. The Symposium is particularly interested in papers that assess the effectiveness of financial education and its influence on financial behavior and other outcomes. Academic faculty and researchers in economics and related fields studying financial education are encouraged to submit papers.

We also welcome the submission of abstracts or papers from advanced PhD students. We will have a special session dedicated to student research and a student poster session.

And we will have two research awards:

1. Financial Literacy Research Award — Best submitted paper ($5,000 prize)

2. Rising Financial Literacy Scholar Award — Best PhD student poster presentation ($1,000 prize)

Submit by February 24, 2025.
