AEA Continuing Education: Recent Developments Lectures

Stay Abreast of the Recent Developments in Teaching and Research

The AEA's Continuing Education Program is now held simultaneously with the ASSA Annual Meeting as part of the regularly scheduled sessions. The continuing education sessions have been renamed the “AEA Recent Developments Series” and are accessible to all registrants at no additional cost. The AEA’s Recent Developments Series is designed to help economists at all career stages sustain and enhance their expertise. Each session, presented by leading scholars in their fields, is tailored to explore the latest research across different fields of economics.

This series will be available to all registrants at the 2027 ASSA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, and will feature eight two-hour sessions scheduled across Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
