De Gruyter Handbook of Personal Finance

The De Gruyter Handbook of Personal Finance provides a robust review of  the core topics comprising personal finance, including the primary  models, approaches, and methodologies being used to study particular  topics that comprise the field of personal finance today. The  contributors include many of the world's leading personal finance  researchers, financial service professionals, thought leaders, and  leading contemporary figures conducting research in this area whose work  has shaped-and continues to affect-the way that personal finance is  conceptualized and practiced. The first section of the handbook provides  a broad introduction to the discipline of personal finance. The  following two sections are organized around the core elements of  personal finance research and practice: saving, investing, asset  management, and financial security. The fourth section introduces future  research, practice, and policy directions. The handbook concludes with a  discussion on an educational and research agenda for the future. This  handbook will be a core reference work for researchers, financial  service practitioners, educators, and policymakers and an excellent  supplementary source of readings for those teaching undergraduate and  graduate-level courses in personal finance, financial planning, consumer  studies, and household finance.
