The European Finance Association (EFA) is an international non-profit association with scientific and pedagogical objectives. Therefore, all its events, including the 48^th EFA Annual Meeting in Milan, Italy, are funded by external organizations. Without the financial support of these entities, it would not be possible to organize a successful conference.

We wish to acknowledge and thank our partner for the forthcoming EFA 2021 Annual Meeting.  We would also like to thank the organizers Bocconi University and the European Finance Association for their continuous support.
