The AEA holds its annual meeting each January. The three-day event involves research presentations, awards, receptions and job market interviews.
Organized in 1885, the AEA has approximately 18,000 members, over half of whom work in the academic sector. About 15 percent are employed in business and industry, and the remaining members are largely employed by federal, state, and local government or other not-for-profit organizations.
The AEA encourages non-partisan economics research and issues publications on economic subjects. The next meeting will be held in San Diego in 2013.
