It was incorporated February 3, 1923. Richard T. Ely, who was actively involved in the founding of the Association, was its first secretary. From 1885 to about 1910, the membership of the Association consisted mainly of college and university teachers of economics. With the growing general interest in the subject of economics after the turn of the century, the Association attracted an increasing number of members from business and professional groups. Today the membership is approximately 18,000. In addition, about 4,200 libraries, institutions, and firms subscribe to the quarterly publications of the Association. Over 50% of the AEA membership is associated with academic institutions, 15% with business and industry, and the remainder largely with federal, state and local government or other not-for-profit organizations Media Contacts: Drucilla Ekwurzel Director of Publications/Managing Director of EconLit Production & Marketing American Economic Association Tel: +1 412-432-2306 Email: [log in to unmask]
