Keynote speakers

Keynote addresses have been part of FREIT conferences since 1995. Since then, 51 economists have given 59 keynote addresses. We are grateful to all of them. More on how FREIT conferences came about is in the history of FREIT, and the economists who gave the last paper of a conference are acknowledged as the closers.
