Economic Associations Time Series

These data were used in Frey EF, Caviglia-Harris JL, Walsh P (2020). Increasing Participation and Access to Economic Associations and Their Services. Agricultural and Resource Economics Review 1–21. https://doi.org/10.1017/age.2020.21 . The dataset includes economic association data on membership, dues, meeting attendance, meeting registration fees, and meeting locations for the 40-year time period after 1975 (or the first year available). These data were assembled from publicly available sources. They were obtained from Siegfried (2002) (which has data on AEA membership history), association records, staff e-mails, and journals for the AEA, SEA, and WEAI (which include annual association summaries that have association data). Additional detail can be found in Frey et al. (2020). Siegfried, J.J. (2002) “The Economics of Regional Economics Associations.” Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance 42(1): 1–17. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/10629769
