We have successfully organized our thirty-fourth conference on January 6-8, 2021. The conference was jointly organized with the Department of Economics, School of Economics, Business and International Studies, University of Piraeus with the support of the Istanbul Economic Research Association. Due to the COVID-19, the conference presentation mode has been switched to “online/virtual presentation only”.

We are honored to have received top-tier papers from distinguished scholars from all over the world. We regret that we were unable to accept more papers. In the conference, 148 papers by 296 colleagues from 40 countries were presented. We, EBES, would like to thank all of the conference participants and invited speakers for their contribution to the conference.
