Southern Economic Association

The Southern Economic Association (SEA) is a regional-based scholarly economic organization based at Texas Tech University. The SEA was founded in 1928. It is one of five general professional economic associations. For the SEA member characteristics (e.g. political affiliation, policy opinions) in relation to the other major economic associations see Klein et al.{{cite journal|last1=Klein|first1=Daniel|last2=Davis|first2=William|last3=Figgins|first3=Bob|last4=Hedegren|first4=David|title=Characteristics of the Members of Twelve Economic Associations: Voting, Policy Views, and Favorite Economists|journal=Econ Journal Watch|date=2012|volume=9|issue=2|pages=149–62|url=https://econjwatch.org/articles/characteristics-of-the-members-of-twelve-economics-associations-voting-policy-views-and-favorite-economists?ref=articles}}

From its founding, the purpose of the Association has been to further the education of scholars and the public in economic affairs. Toward this end, it seeks to stimulate interest in and disseminate results of recent research in theory and applied economics.

The membership of the SEA includes a diverse set of scholars, with a great range in their substantive interests and in their methods of inquiry.

History

In October 1927, Walter J. Matherly proposed the founding of the Southern Economic Association.{{Cite journal |last=Matherly |first=Walter J. |date=1940 |title=The History of the Southern Economic Association, 1927-1939 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1053086 |journal=Southern Economic Journal |volume=7 |issue=2 |pages=225–240 |doi=10.2307/1053086 |issn=0038-4038|url-access=subscription }} A committee composed of Matherly, Dean Lee Bidgood, Simon E.
