The Advantages of AEA Membership

• Access to Leading Economics Research
  Members receive digital access to all AEA journals, including forthcoming accepted articles and AEA journals on JSTOR.
• Reduced Submission Fees to AEA Journals
  All submissions fees for AEA journals are significantly reduced for members.
• Impacting the Profession 
  Through membership, you can have meaningful influence on the direction and impact of the economics profession. Our members are involved in mentoring and education, advocacy and outreach efforts, AEA policy development, and improving professional conduct. Through their vote in the annual election of officers and by attending the AEA's Annual Business Meeting, members can help bring about change.
• Annual Meeting 
  The three-day ASSA Annual Meeting provides an ideal opportunity for the presentation and discussion of research in an environment that fosters relationships with colleagues. As a member, you may submit papers for the AEA program and collaborate on session proposals through EconHarmony.  
• Ombuds Services 
  The AEA Ombuds Team is an independent, impartial, confidential, and informal third-party resource to help AEA members obtain information about AEA policies and procedures, develop options for surfacing issues, assist in addressing or resolving conflicts or concerns, and assist in bringing systemic issues to the attention of AEA leadership.
• News and Announcements 
  Members are the first to hear about the latest AEA news, including officer elections, award announcements, annual meeting information, upcoming professional development opportunities, key deadlines, and publication alerts for all AEA journals.

Whether you are a student, a mid-career economist, or a senior scholar, your AEA membership can be a significant part of your success. The Association offers a limited complimentary membership to high school students and teachers. Help support excellence in economics!
