The East Asian Economic Association

The East Asian Economic Association (EAEA) was established in 1987 as the first international academic organization to focus on the economics of East Asia, comprising Northeast and Southeast Asia. The Association has since expanded and encompasses south Asia as defined by the SAARC countries. Members from all around the world are most welcome to join.

The core activities of the EAEA include publishing a quarterly journal, the Asian Economic Journal, and holding international conventions. This website provides links to information about the EAEA, its international conventions, and the Asian Economic Journal.

The 20th International Convention will be hosted by Ateneo de Manila University on Nov 8-9, 2025.
