Abstract

A non-profit organization with purely scientific aims, the International Economic Association (IEA) was founded in 1950. Its basic purpose is the development of economics as an intellectual discipline, recognizing a diversity of problems, systems and values in the world and taking note of methodological diversities. Since its creation, the IEA has sought to fulfil that purpose by promoting mutual understanding among economists through the organization of scientific meetings and common research programmes. The publications that comprise the series, are the explorations of these matters discussed, with special attention paid to issues of economies in transition and in the course of development.
