History
The Association of Christian Economists (ACE) was formed in December 1982 at the Allied Social Science Association meetings. ACE aims to encourage Christian scholars to explore and communicate the relationship between their faith and the discipline of economics, and to promote interaction and communication among Christian economists. ACE currently has approximately 150 members — Christian economists in academia, business, and government, drawn from around the globe.
ACE-Sponsored Activities
Faith & Economics, an online, peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Association of Christian Economists each spring and fall. It includes original research articles and book reviews.
Professional sessions and an annual meeting held as part of the annual gathering of the Allied Social Sciences Associations in the U.S. every January.
Faithful Economy, a podcast about Economics, Theology, and Ethics.
Occasional fellowship and professional gatherings held at other times and places.
