Young Economist Seminar Series (YESS)

on financial economics

Virtual seminar series facilitate the global dissemination of insights, although primarily by well-established economists. Junior researchers often find it challenging to find an audience for their ideas.


The YESS, launched by IBEFA, aims to fill this void. We seek to provide a venue for young researchers to present their work and obtain feedback from peers and senior scholars alike. We are principally focused on assistant professors, junior research economists at central banks and policy institutions, post-docs, and senior PhD students working on financial intermediation.


YESS is being coordinated with the Villanova Webinars in Financial Intermediation (WiFI) and MoFiR Virtual Seminars on Banking. The seminars are scheduled on Fridays at 10 am ET (4 pm CET).



If you are interested in presenting your work, please contact the organizers and include a completed paper.
