IAFFE at ASSA

Every January, IAFFE meets with other associations that convene at the American Economic Association / Allied Social Science Association meetings. The Allied Social Science Associations (ASSA) meetings constitute the biggest yearly economics convention. It is a particularly valuable event in that it enables economists to exchange views across specialties, as all those registered for ASSA may attend sessions sponsored by other participating associations.

Like many other specialist economics societies, IAFFE organizes sessions and get-togethers at the ASSA Annual meeting, often in conjunction with other societies.
