Many thanks to Erdal, and local organizers Ana, Igor and Lana for such a great and stimulating conference. I learned a lot from all very interesting papers and it was truly priceless to catch up with dear old friends and meet new ones. Canโt recommend this conference enough!
The 13th Workshop on the Economics of Risky Behavior has come to an end. It was two days of rich intellectual stimulation in a stunning location. Looking forward to the 14th episode next year! Stay tuned for an announcement.
