Italian Economic Association is an Italian learned society dedicated to the study and promotion of economics within Italy and internationally, interacting with institutions such as Università di Bologna, Banca d'Italia, Università di Roma "La Sapienza", Università Bocconi and European Central Bank. It organizes annual meetings, fosters research collaborations among scholars from Università di Milano, Scuola Normale Superiore, Università di Padova, Università di Pisa and promotes dialogue with policymakers from Ministero dell'Economia e delle Finanze, Commission of the European Communities, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and International Monetary Fund.
The association was founded in 1985 by a group of economists linked to Università di Torino, Università di Firenze, Università di Napoli Federico II, Centro Studi di Politica Economica and Istituto Nazionale di Statistica to create a forum comparable to American Economic Association, Royal Economic Society and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Volkswirtschaftslehre. Early conferences featured participants from London School of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, University of Chicago and Yale University and addressed topics related to Treaty of Maastricht, European Monetary System, Stagflation crisis and Brussels Summit policy debates. Over time the association expanded links with European University Institute, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Banco de España, De Nederlandsche Bank and Federal Reserve Board.
Governance follows a structure combining elected officers from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Università di Trento, Università di Genova and representatives from research centers such as Centro Studi Luca d'Agliano, Instituto di Economia, Istituto Affari Internazionali and Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. A steering committee, scientific committee and advisory board include members affiliated with European Commission Directorates-General, World Bank, Bank for International Settlements and leading departments at Columbia University, Princeton University and University of Cambridge. Statutes reference cooperation with Associazione Italiana Bancaria and compliance with frameworks used by Association of European Schools of Planning.
Membership comprises professors from Università di Palermo, Università di Bari, Università di Catania, postdoctoral researchers from Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris and doctoral candidates from University of Oxford, University of Cambridge and New York University. The association holds an annual congress rotating among venues including Bocconi University, Sapienza University of Rome, University of Milan Bicocca, University of Trento and sometimes co-hosted with Society for Economic Dynamics, European Economic Association or Econometric Society lectures. Regional workshops are organized in collaboration with Fondazione Bruno Leoni, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei, Fondazione Feltrinelli and municipal partners from Comune di Milano and Comune di Roma.
Activities include organizing panels on topics like European Central Bank policy, Eurozone crisis recovery, Pension reform in Italy debates and research methods seminars with guests from National Bureau of Economic Research, Centre for Economic Policy Research, IZA Institute of Labor Economics and Brookings Institution. Publications have appeared in collaboration with journals such as Rivista di Politica Economica, Journal of Economic Literature, Journal of Monetary Economics, Economic Policy and edited volumes published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and Springer. The association also sponsors working paper series in partnership with Istituto Affari Internazionali, CEPR networks and doctoral summer schools linked to EIEF and European University Institute.
The association grants prizes recognizing research excellence, modeled on awards like the John Bates Clark Medal, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences nominations, Yrjö Jahnsson Award and national honors such as Premio Viareggio-style recognitions. Specific prizes have acknowledged contributions from economists affiliated with Bocconi, Luigi Bocconi Graduate School, Università di Torino and research centers including CEPR and NBER. Award ceremonies often take place during annual meetings alongside lectures by laureates from Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and London School of Economics.
Through briefings, testimony and joint reports, the association has influenced policy discussions at Ministero dell'Economia e delle Finanze, Banca d'Italia, European Commission, Parlamento Italiano committees and think tanks such as ISPI and Istituto Bruno Leoni. Its members have contributed to reforms concerning Fiscal Compact, Pension reform in Italy, Italian banking reform, Labour market reform and responses to the Eurozone crisis, often liaising with agencies like International Monetary Fund and European Stability Mechanism. Position papers produced in collaboration with OECD and Bank for International Settlements have been cited in hearings before Senato della Repubblica and policy documents from Commissione Europea.
Notable past and present members include academics and policymakers who held positions at institutions such as Banca d'Italia, European Central Bank, Università Bocconi, Università di Roma "Tor Vergata", Harvard University and University College London. Leadership has featured presidents and officers with affiliations to EIEF, Università di Padova, Università di Firenze, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and collaborative ties to World Bank and OECD. Distinguished speakers and honorary members have included scholars associated with MIT Department of Economics, Stanford University, Yale University and public intellectuals from La Repubblica, Corriere della Sera and policy institutes such as Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli.
