Special Conference:
Tipping Points II:Understanding the Impact of Household Debt on Growth

The Private Debt Project and the Center for Household Financial Stability are proud to present the second of our "Tipping Points" conferences. While the first, June 2016, Tipping Points conference focused on the microeconomic and demographic aspects of American household debt, the 2017 conferences examines the macroeconomic questions surrounding household indebtness. Both conferences ask at what the "tipping point" is when debt goes from an engine of growth to a drag on it.
