The Global Economic Association
Aim
The aim of the Global Economic Association (GEA) is to create an international community of economists devoted to the analysis and treatment of the major global economic problems. The problems include climate change, poverty and inequality, economic and political insecurity, financial instability, social fragmentation, ill health, failures to share knowledge, corruption and governance problems, and others. What these problems have in common is that they are global in scope, pose a significant threat to the future well-being of large populations, and require cooperation across countries or across other sovereign decisions makers (e.g. governments, businesses and civic organizations).
Events and Publications
The main annual event of the GEA is the Global Economic Symposium (GES), which aims to assemble the world’s most prominent experts from politics, business, academia and civil society to address important global problems. Like the Symposium, the GEA is meant to create shared visions of the future and formulate innovative policies to achieve these visions. Taking a further cue from the Symposium, the GEA’s work is meant to generate high-quality research on global economic problems and produce action-oriented proposals for dealing with these problems.
While members of the GEA are of course free to publish their research in any journals of their choice, the publication outlet of the GEA is the policy section of the e-journal Economics.
