International Economic Association
The International Economic Association is the international federation of national economic associations, formed by a core group of academics, scholars, and distinguished economists, from developed and developing countries. The International Economic Association was founded in 1950 as a non governmental organization at the instigation of the Social Sciences Department of UNESCO. It aims to promote personal contacts and mutual understanding among economists in different parts of the world through the organization of scientific meetings, common research programs and by means of publications of an international character on economic policies and problems of current importance.

The association has been influential in shaping global economic policy and research. Nobel laureates like Robert Solow, Amartya Sen, and Joseph Stiglitz are among International Economic Association past presidents.
