Event Overview:

Share. Collaborate. Learn.

The AEA, in conjunction with 58 associations in related disciplines known as the Allied Social Sciences Associations (ASSA), holds a three-day meeting each January to present papers on general economics topics.

Over 13,300 of the best minds in economics are assembled to network and celebrate new achievements in economic research:

• Program: Offers in-depth coverage of economics topics across many disciplines via hundreds of speakers and panels.
• Job Interviews: The concurrent economics job fair brings together thousands of job-seekers and recruiting companies in pre-registered interview sessions.
• Special Events: The Presidential Address, award presentations, lectures, and many networking opportunities are also part of the experience.
• Proceedings: The American Economic Association publishes a Papers and Proceedings edition in May highlighting selected papers from the meeting, and a limited number of sessions are featured on webcasts.
• Exhibit Hall: Meet representatives offering specialized products and services serving economists and those in related disciplines.

ASSA is the premier event to expose your work with colleagues and hear about the latest research emerging in the field. Economists from around the world take advantage of this unique opportunity to share, collaborate, and learn…all in one place.

Stay Abreast of the Latest Developments in Teaching and Research

The AEA's Continuing Education Program aims to help mid-career economists and others maintain the value of their human capital. It is tailored primarily to faculty at liberal arts colleges and teaching-oriented state universities that may have fewer research opportunities than colleagues at universities with PhD programs. The lecturers are leading scholars who also are excellent expositors. The focus is on content to help improve teaching and research.
