THE CHINESE ECONOMISTS SOCIETY 

The Chinese Economists Society (CES) is a non-profit professional organization registered in the United States. The aim of the Society is to promote scholarly exchanges among its members and contribute to the advancement and dissemination of economics and management sciences in China. 

Over the years, more than 4000 individuals joined the CES from academia, research institutes, and other public or private organizations throughout North America, Asia, Europe, and other parts of the world. CES members have been in leadership positions in government agencies, universities, research institutes, multinational firms, and international institutions including the People's Bank of China, the World Bank, and IMF. The Society is considered the most influential group that bridges academic exchanges in economics and management sciences between North America and China.

The Society held its first annual conference in Princeton, N.J. in 1985. To better promote market-based economic reforms in China, the Society has organized its annual conference in China since 1993, often jointly hosted with a Chinese university. The CES conferences have been widely attended by internationally renowned economists, senior government officials, and business leaders. The Society also organizes themed North America conferences. The CES conferences have had profound policy impacts on China's market-oriented transition and reforms as well as economic development strategy.

In 1989, the CES launched an English-language journal China Economic Review (CER), which achieved worldwide circulation and became a highly influential academic periodical on China's economy in just a few years. The CES became a member of the Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA) in 1992 and has sponsored independent and joint sessions with other associations at the annual ASSA meetings since then.

 

Since 1990, the CES has run short-term teaching programs every year to support its overseas members to teach in Chinese universities. The programs were initially funded by the Ford Foundation and later sponsored by the Paula and Gregory Chow Foundation. Most of the CES institutional members are universities in China. The CES has become an important platform for Chinese universities and institutions to recruit in North America. Every year through the CES-organized events and networking, universities and institutions in China have successfully recruited many young economists.

The CES is committed to serving its members and promoting the scholarly exchange between academic and research communities in the North America and in China.
