Southern European Economic Discussion Series (SEEDS) is a working paper series which has started in 1982. It distributes to 250 universities worldwide research findings of the members of ASSET. Three quarters of the papers have found this way into first-class international journals.

The SEEDS are maintened by the INSTITUTO DE ECONOMIA PUBLICA, UNIVERSIDAD DEL PAIS VASCO - EUSKAL HERRIKO UNIBERTSITATEA, BILBAO.
