The purpose of our organization is to promote scholarly exchange among persons interested in comparative studies of economic systems, planning, and economic development and to further the growth of systematic knowledge in these areas by facilitating research, instruction, and publication. We meet once a year at the annual meetings of the American Economic Association and we have occasional sessions at regional economic meetings and in Europe. In the fall, we mail all members the program for the upcoming annual meeting and an election ballot. We sponsor and edit two well-known journals, Comparative Economic Studies, edited by Jeffrey Miller of University of Delaware, and The Journal of Comparative Economics, edited by John Bonin of Wesleyan University.
