The 2021 Global Forum for Financial Consumers (GFFC), the annual conference organized by IAFICO, will be held on August 6^th~7^th in a hybrid format of online-onsite webinar. This year’s theme for the Conference will be “Financial Consumer Protection (FCP): Linking Theories and Evidences to Policy Practices,” under which the organizers would like to invite on-going research papers, both theoretical and empirical, on those behavioral patterns and policy practices that are relevant to FCP. Topics of interest will include, but not limited to, financial literacy and wellbeing, digital divide and its remedies, business ethics and other means of self-regulation, alternative legal and regulatory frameworks, conflict resolution mechanisms, and behavioral inducement (“nudge”) in both demand- and supply-side of financial markets.
