To ensure a high quality of the papers accepted for presentation, a scientific committee with complete discretion in the evaluation is a sine qua non. Membership in the scientific committee is conditional on having acquired a high academic standard, as reflected by papers published in top journals in Economics. By “top”, we understand the top 5, plus the next approx. 15-20 journals, according to the scientific hierarchies within the Economics discipline used by most top U.S. and European universities. Moreover, the committee members should encompass various research interests to be able to evaluate the submitted papers.
