Financial Literacy and Behavioral Finance

Individual financial decision-making plays a critical role in economic security, financial resilience, and social inclusion within an increasingly complex global economy. The Financial Literacy and Behavioral Finance Conference explores how cultural and social influences, behavioral biases, emotions, risk tolerance, and emerging technologies shape financial behavior and outcomes. In collaboration with our sponsor, the Journal of Risk and Financial Management (JRFM), the conference will highlight recent scholarly and educational work that examines underlying mechanisms, establishes causal relationships, evaluates interventions, and informs meaningful policy approaches to financial literacy, particularly in emerging and developing economies.
