What is the Committee?
The Committee on Economic Education is a standing committee of the American Economic Association that has been in existence in one form or another since 1955. The mission of the Committee is to improve the quality of economics education at all levels: pre-college, college, adult, and general education. The Committee sponsors regular paper sessions and workshops at the annual Allied Social Science Association Meetings.
The Third Annual AEA Conference on Teaching (at the undergraduate and graduate levels) and Research in Economic Education (all levels, including precollege) will be held May 29 to May 31, 2013 in Chicago, hosted by the Committee on Economic Education, in cooperation with the Journal of Economic Education and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The conference is at the Renaissance Chicago Downtown. The first night of the conference will include a tour of the Money Museum and dinner at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Plenary talks will be given by John List, Steven Levitt, and Derek Neal, and Dan Sullivan (Director of Research of the Chicago Fed).
