AEA Continuing Education Program – Changes for 2025

The AEA Continuing Education Program will be held simultaneously with the 2025 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. This series, which will feature eight two-hour sessions scheduled across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, is designed to help economists at all career stages sustain and enhance their expertise. For more information and to view the topics, visit https://www.aeaweb.org/conference/cont-ed/.

Job Market Interviews

The AEA strongly recommends conducting initial job market interviews virtually, rather than at the ASSA Annual Meeting. We encourage you to make full use of the JOE Network for managing candidate profiles, job listings, and letters, as well as utilizing the application module, which includes a scheduling tool for interviews. The AEA will continue to offer Signaling and the Job Market Scramble. Additionally, the AEA Committee on the Job Market provides regular updates on job market conditions and has released guidance and a timeline for the 2024-25 economics job cycle. For more details and updates, visit AEA Job Market Communications.

EconTrack – the AEA Job Information Board

The AEA wants to help keep you informed! EconTrack is now open to provide job candidates with reliable information about the status of open positions during the annual job market cycle. This service is hosted by the AEA and is intended to provide verified and up-to-date information in a professional climate. We need your department’s participation to make it successful! Please encourage your recruiters and hiring teams to supply status information for open positions at your institution. Learn more at https://www.aeaweb.org/econtrack.
