The International Economic Association (IEA) is an NGO established in 1950,[1] at the instigation of the Social Sciences Department of UNESCO.[2] To date, the IEA still shares information and maintains consultative relations with UNESCO. In 1973 the IEA became a federated member of the International Social Science Council.[3]

The goal of the IEA is to promote personal contacts and mutual understanding among economists in different parts of the world through the organization of scientific meetings, through common research programs and by means of publications of an international character on problems of current importance.[4]
