Società Italiana degli Economisti is an Italian scholarly association founded in 1939 that brings together scholars across Italian universities, research institutes, and policy bodies to advance economic research and public debate. It engages with national institutions, international organizations, and academic networks to influence policymaking and disseminate economic knowledge through publications, conferences, and awards.
The association was established in 1939 amid intellectual currents linking figures from Università di Roma La Sapienza, Università Bocconi, Università degli Studi di Milano, and institutions associated with scholars such as Vilfredo Pareto, Luigi Einaudi, Gino Zappa, Piero Sraffa and contemporaries connected to debates involving Keynesian economics, Classical economics, Neoclassical economics and policy discussions with Ministero delle Finanze (Italy), Istituto Nazionale di Statistica and universities in Florence, Turin and Bologna. During the postwar period it interacted with policymakers from Enrico Mattei, Alcide De Gasperi, Giulio Andreotti and economists at OECD, International Monetary Fund, World Bank and the European Coal and Steel Community as Italy integrated into European structures like the Treaty of Rome and later the European Union. In the late 20th century the association engaged debates featuring scholars influenced by Milton Friedman, Paul Samuelson, John Maynard Keynes and Kenneth Arrow, while connecting to reform efforts linked to Bruno Leoni, Luigi Einaudi (President), Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa and Italian think tanks such as Istituto Bruno Leoni, Istituto Affari Internazionali and Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei.
The society's governance has included presidents and boards drawn from faculties at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Università di Torino, Università di Padova, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, and research centers like Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Banca d'Italia and Istituto Carlo Cattaneo, often collaborating with figures who held posts at Università della Svizzera italiana, London School of Economics, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Chicago and Columbia University. Leadership historically coordinated with committees mirroring structures found in Royal Economic Society, American Economic Association, European Economic Association, and national academies such as the Accademia dei Lincei and Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei di Roma. Administrative offices in Rome liaise with ministries like Ministero dell'Economia e delle Finanze and agencies including Istituto Superiore di Sanità for institutional outreach.
Membership includes full members, associate members and corresponding members from departments at Università di Siena, Università del Salento, Università di Palermo, Università di Genova and international scholars affiliated to European Central Bank, Bank of Italy, Banca d'Italia, Bank for International Settlements and research institutes such as CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC POLICY RESEARCH, Institut d'Économie Publique, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei and Istituto Nazionale per l'Analisi delle Politiche Pubbliche. Activities include seminars with participation from scholars linked to Associazione Italiana di Econometria, workshops that attract researchers from CESifo, NBER, CEPR, and outreach programs involving policymakers from Camera dei Deputati, Senato della Repubblica (Italy), Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri and regional governments in Lombardy, Lazio and Sicily.
The society sponsors journals and proceedings involving editors from publishing houses and editorial boards at Banca d'Italia, Università Bocconi Press, Il Mulino, and collaborates on special issues referencing works by Francesco Forte, Luigi Zingales, Vittorio Grilli and scholars connected to European Commission research networks. Annual meetings attract presentations later appearing in outlets such as Rivista di Politica Economica, Giornale degli Economisti, Economic Policy, Journal of Economic Literature and edited volumes from Springer, Routledge and Cambridge University Press. Conferences have been staged in venues across Rome, Milan, Florence, Turin, and internationally with partners like European Central Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, United Nations, World Bank, International Labour Organization and academic hosts including University of Oxford, University of Cambridge and Princeton University.
Research spans fields represented by scholars working on welfare-state analysis influenced by Amartya Sen, Robert Solow, James Tobin; public finance linked to Richard Musgrave, Alan Auerbach; macroeconomic policy drawing on Robert Lucas Jr., John Hull and Edmund Phelps; industrial organization near themes from Jean Tirole, Oliver Williamson; and econometrics with traditions from Trygve Haavelmo, Clive Granger, James Heckman and Christopher Sims. The society's influence is seen in policy reports referenced by European Commission, budget analyses cited by Ministero dell'Economia e delle Finanze, and expert testimony delivered to bodies such as Parlamento Europeo, Corte Costituzionale (Italy) and international panels convened by IMF and World Bank.
The society grants prizes and medals honoring scholarly contributions, often awarded to economists associated with institutions like Università Bocconi, Harvard University, Princeton University, London School of Economics, Yale University and recipients whose work intersects with awards such as the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, Frisch Medal, Yrjö Jahnsson Award, John Bates Clark Medal and national honors from Presidenza della Repubblica (Italy), Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and ministerial recognitions.
It maintains formal and informal ties with international associations including European Economic Association, American Economic Association, Royal Economic Society, International Economic Association, and research networks such as NBER, CEPR, CESifo, IZA Institute of Labor Economics and bilateral academic links to universities like Columbia University, Stanford University, Yale University, University of Chicago and centers including IMF Institute and World Bank Development Research Group for joint projects, visiting scholar exchanges, and collaborative conferences across Europe, North America, and Asia.
