Academia Nacional de Ciencias Económicas (Argentina) is an Argentine learned society founded in 1937 devoted to the study and promotion of economic sciences. The institution interacts with universities such as Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, and policy bodies like Banco Central de la República Argentina, Ministerio de Hacienda (Argentina), Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas to influence analysis of fiscal, monetary, and development issues. Its membership and activities connect figures from institutions including Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, FLACSO, Fondo Monetario Internacional, Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, and notable economists such as Raúl Prebisch, Alejandro Bunge, Ezequiel Gallo, Martín Lousteau, and Domingo Cavallo.
The academy was established amid debates influenced by international currents from Keynesian economics, Classical economics, and the work of John Maynard Keynes and Adam Smith, responding to national debates triggered by the Great Depression (1929) and policies of the Infamous Decade (Argentina). Early correspondents included scholars tied to Universidad de Buenos Aires faculties and policymakers from presidential administrations of the 1940s and 1950s, interacting with institutions such as Banco Nación and Ministerio de Economía (Argentina). Through the Cold War era, the academy engaged with comparative studies referencing United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and developmentalist analyses associated with Raúl Prebisch and ECLAC. In the 1980s and 1990s its members debated reforms promoted by Washington Consensus institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, and later confronted crises such as the Argentine economic crisis (1999–2002) and the Great Recession.
The academy's charter defines objectives related to scholarly advancement in fields historically associated with contributors from Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, and think tanks like CIPPEC and Fundación Mediterránea. It aims to disseminate research correlating with topics studied at Harvard University, London School of Economics, and Università Bocconi by fellows who have collaborated with organizations such as Inter-American Development Bank and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The institution promotes interdisciplinary dialogue linking economists with jurists from Supreme Court of Argentina, demographers linked to Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC), and historians associated with Biblioteca Nacional de la República Argentina.
The academy comprises full members, corresponding members, and emeriti drawn from academia and public life, many of whom hold posts at Universidad de San Andrés, Universidad Católica Argentina, Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas, and international posts at European Central Bank or Bank of England. Its governance includes a president, secretaries, and committees mirroring structures found in academies such as the Real Academia Española and the Académie des Sciences. Membership often includes laureates and scholars who have published with presses like Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and journals such as Journal of Development Economics, The Economic Journal, and Review of Economic Studies.
The academy organizes seminars, symposia, and public lectures that feature participants from institutions including Universidad de Chile, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Columbia University, Yale University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its publications series and annals include monographs, working papers, and compilations distributed alongside outlets like Revista de Historia Económica and indexed in databases used by Scopus and Web of Science. The academy has issued reports addressing issues covered by G20 discussions and regional initiatives like Mercosur, often collaborating with policy units from Ministerio de Desarrollo Productivo (Argentina) and research centers such as IDB teams.
Members have produced applied and theoretical work informing debates on inflation dynamics, fiscal sustainability, and external vulnerability, connecting to scholarship by Milton Friedman, Robert Mundell, Hyman Minsky, and Joseph Stiglitz. The academy's expert panels have advised legislative bodies including the Argentine National Congress and ministries during episodes like debt restructurings influenced by precedents from Brady Plan negotiations and cases such as Argentina sovereign debt restructuring 2005. Collaborative studies have involved datasets from Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC), international comparisons with OECD countries, and methodological advances citing work from Econometrica and American Economic Review.
The academy grants distinctions and medals to scholars and practitioners with affiliations to universities like University of Oxford, Princeton University, University of Chicago, and institutions such as Banco Mundial and Fondo Monetario Internacional. Awards have recognized contributions by economists who later appeared in forums with Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences laureates or who have served at central banks including Banco Central de Chile and Federal Reserve System. Honorary memberships have been conferred on figures connected to UN Economic and Social Council initiatives and regional leaders active in Union of South American Nations dialogues.
Headquartered in Buenos Aires, the academy occupies premises proximate to cultural landmarks such as Teatro Colón, Congreso de la Nación Argentina, and academic hubs including Facultad de Ciencias Económicas (UBA). Its meeting rooms host sessions that mirror seminars at institutions like Royal Economic Society events and accommodate visiting scholars from centers including Brookings Institution and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
