What Scholars Say About APEE“The meetings actually remind me of the old Public Choice Society
meetings, for those of you who might remember them—a relatively
small group of people who want to talk seriously about markets and government
policy rather than showing off the latest model while alluding to some
economic or policy issue in passing.” “I was surprised at how many people from the National Council of
Economic Education Center network were at the last meeting.I bumped into
friends from Wisconsin, Georgia, Kentucky, California, and New York. APEE
must be doing something right.” “Most professional meetings have become less interesting and vital
over the years.But APEE brings together people with the same general interests,
so discussions are more fruitful and congenial than when a random group
of economists gather. There is a feeling of camaraderie rarely found in
professional meetings of recent years.” “APEE is the best organization I know of for meeting academics
with sound theoretical knowledge of economics and related disciplines,
good publishing records, and a genuine commitment to communicating the
principles of free-market economics. The sessions are almost always full
of interesting insights. And I always come back with my batteries recharged
having had a chance to interact with old friends, and meet new ones in
nice places.” “Although all are friendly to the free society, APEE members are
critical and challenging and put everyone on the spot about how the system
is to be understood, explained and defended. That is surely how a scholarly
organization should be and a good reason for attending its meetings." |
