The recent financial and economic crisis in the US and Europe has demonstrated forcefully that a better understanding of household finance is crucial for macroeconomic and financial stability. The current fears over a real estate bubble in Switzerland and its possible consequences for banking sector stability and macroeconomic performance highlight that household finance is likely to be at the core of Swiss economic and financial policy considerations for years to come.
The objective of this website is to enhance the visibility of the ongoing research and policy analysis at UNISG on household finance and its macroeconomic consequences.
