The IEA was founded in 1950 as a Non-Governmental Organization under the auspices of the Social Sciences Department of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Since its inception, the NGO has maintained close information and consultative relations with UNESCO. The IEA's mission is to promote communication and mutual understanding among economists from around the world through the organization of scientific meetings and academic conferences, including through common research programs as well as publications that are international in scope and concerned with issues of immediate importance. The IEA World Congress focuses on the frontier topics across the world in terms of economic theory and policy, and has been called the "Olympic Games" for the discipline of economic research. More than 500 economists from all over the world attended the 2023 Congress to present and discuss their research results.
