The Association of Southern European Economic Theorists (ASSET) is a group of economics departments and economics research centres situated in Cyprus, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey. 

The purpose of the Association is to encourage the development among the participating centres of programmes of research into economic problems that meet international standards of quality in quantitative economics and econometrics.

To this end, the group promotes interaction among researchers from institutions that are based in Southern Europe and Mediterranean Basin, and organizes events to facilitate exchange of ideas and research outcomes.

ASSET 2009 will provide an excellent opportunity to present your research.

The local organization will be jointly conducted by the Center for Economic Design and the Department of Economics of Boğaziçi University. The venue of the conference will be the South Campus (the main campus) of Boğaziçi University.

We look forward to welcoming you in Istanbul.
