We are happy to announce that the conference "CEF20 - Cultural Economics and Finance" will be held online from June 20 to June 21. The conference will take place on Zoom. This platform will allow us to have interactions nearly as good as at a live event.

Cultural differences and cultural transitions play a pivotal role in economics and financial decision making. Our conference will bring together researchers from different areas to discuss these effects. The conference will include a special session about China and East Asia.

Topics include: cultural differences in economic and financial preferences as well as in financial markets, transmission of cultural norms and transitions of economic decision making. 

Given the current situation regarding the ongoing coronavirus pandemics, the PhD workshop from June 19 to June 20 must be cancelled.
