We have successfully organized our fifty-third conference on October 16-18, 2025. The conference was organized with the support of the Istanbul Economic Research Association and hosted by Faculty of Economics and Business, Universidad Complutense Madrid in hybrid mode with both online and in-person presentation at the Universidad Complutense Madrid in Madrid, Spain.

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, 257 papers by 548 colleagues from 64 countries were presented. We, EBES, would like to thank all of the conference participants and invited speakers for their contribution to the conference.
