Abstract

We are pleased to introduce a new type of article. «Debate On» is the transcript of a debate  among experts who has actually taken place in a forum, conference or seminar. It offers  academic and practitioners views on a specific topic and provides thus up to date research  and applications on a theme that is relevant to the contributors and readers of Bankers  Markets and Investors. As any topic keeps some unresolved issues or even sometimes  antagonistic approaches, we feel it is of great interest to listen to the opinions of experts  to guide future research or to consider their application in real life.  The first «Debate On» that this issue publishes is related to “How Do Investor’s Expecta tions and Emotions Drive Financial Asset Prices in Times of Crises and Uncertainty ?”. It  was part of a seminar organized in IAE Lille on February 1st 2023 on “Investor’s Emotions  and Asset Price”, a seminar where other traditional selected papers were presented. Thus  the debate that occurred was a reflection and complement to what was also shown and  discussed during that day. The debate was prepared and moderated by Fredj Jawadi. Fredj  made the transcript of the panel and offered the various contributors to rewrite their text  so that it can be read easily. The article was peer reviewed so that any useful modification  or complement could enhance the content of the article.  We hope you will enjoy reading this new form of contribution making the most of knowledge  and market practice. Other scientific journals have also tried this new way of disseminating  research and discussions. The Editors and the Associate Editors thank very much Fredj  Jawadi for this proposal and welcome other proposals designed on similar settings. After  a few of them, we will check readers interest and may modify the concept accordingly.
