We provide the opportunity for contribution from all relevant perspectives, and therefore these papers do not represent a position by ERSA, its associates, or funders on the identified issues.

Please feel free to contact us directly or through LinkedIn. If you feel that you have a contribution or that you would like to be part of this series, please contact us directly at research@econrsa.org.
