REMINDER: Closing the Wealth Gap Research Forum: Abstracts due March 30, 2006
*
The Community Affairs Offices of the Federal Reserve System and CFED invite you to submit papers for a policy research forum entitled “Closing the Wealth Gap: Building Assets among Low-Income Households.” The research forum will be held in conjunction with the CFED 2006 Assets Learning Conference, September 19-21, 2006, in Phoenix, Arizona.
*
The Advisory Committee welcomes research papers and policy studies related to asset- and wealth-building topics such as the role of tax policy in asset accumulation, housing and wealth, innovations in asset building products and programs, and cost/benefit analyses of asset building policies.*
*
The goal of the research forum is to engage academics and policy experts in a rigorous analysis of the causes and consequences of wealth inequality and to develop sound policies for building the assets of low-income households. In addition, the conference will contribute directly to the academic literature through an edited volume of papers presented at the conference.
