Call for Papers

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 Program 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. For more details on all topic areas and submission guidelines, please visit:

If you would like to present a paper at the conference, please submit a detailed abstract (1,000-1,500 words) for consideration by March 30, 2006. (Authors of papers accepted for the conference are expected to provide completed manuscripts on or before July 31, 2006.) Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of experts in the asset-building field.
