• Sommario/riassunto: This book features a selection of papers presented at the 15th International Conference “Economies of the Balkan and Eastern European Countries” (EBEEC), held at the University of the Aegean in Chios, Greece, May 12-14, 2023. The EBEEC conference serves as an annual meeting of policy makers from Eastern European and Balkan countries as well as scientists.
