日本経済学会連合

The Union of National Economic Associations in Japan, established in 1950, celebrated its 60^th anniversary in 2010, as the sole nationwide federation of associations of scholars and expects on economics, commerce, and business administration. In order to obtain membership an association is subject to an examination of its academic work. As of 2023, the Union had a membership of 62 associations.

The aims and objectives of the Union are to support the scholarly activities of its member associations and to promote academic exchanges both among members themselves, and between Japanese and academic societies overseas. The main activities of the Union are: (1) the publication and distribution of academic material concerning Japanese economics and papers presented by member scholars, (2) the sending of members to overseas conferences, (3) the holding and supporting of international conferences in Japan, (4) providing financial assistance to member associations who invite foreign scholars to Japan, and (5) collecting information on activities of member associations and the issuing of a news bulletin.

The Union published in 1974 Keizaigaku no Doko (The Trend in Japanese Economics), based on a survey of economics studies undertaken in postwar Japan. A supplementary volume covering Japanese economic studies after 1974 was published in 1982.

The Union and the International economic Association (IEA) jointly held the Fifth World Congress of the IEA in Tokyo from August 29 to September 3, 1978. The Union jointed the International Institute of Public Finance in holding the Institute's 37th Congress at Tokyo in September 1981. The Union dispatched 20 member scholars to the Eighth World Congress of IEA held in India in 1986. Most recently the Union successfully sponsored the IEA Tokyo Round Table Conference on “Institution in a New Dynamic Society” held between 15 and 17 September 1987, and hosted the 1996 IEA Tokyo Round Table Conference between 16 and 19 December, on the theme “The Institutional Foundation of Economic Development in East Asia.”

To celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, the Union held a special lecture meeting on May 25, 2000. Three lectures were invited to speak on the theme, “The reforms that the 21st Century will bring to the world economy, the Japanese economy, and Japanese management.”

To commemorate the 60^th anniversary of this Association, a special lecture program was held at Waseda University Okuma Auditorium on October 12, 2010. Tree lectures were invited. Each of whom spoke from his own perspective on how Japan's economy and Japanese business, in the midst of this once-in-a-century global recession, should solve their present plight and forge new routes for the future.

The Union has recently sponsored six Academic Forums. The first was held at Meiji University on September 26, 2015 on the theme of “Examining Japan’s Human Globalization ─ Human Resources, Systems and International Competitiveness”. The second was held at Waseda University on October 1, 2016 on the theme of “Directions for Post-TPP and World Trade Systems ─ Currents in mega-FTA”. The third was held at Waseda University, Waswda Campus on January 7, 2018 on the theme of “The National and International Contribution of Japanese Accounting”. The fourth was held at Waseda University, Waseda Campus on September 29, 2018 on the theme of “Training for Entrepreneurs and Management Education”. The fifth was held at Waseda University, Waseda Campus on December 7, 2019 on the theme of “How to Teach Economic History at Undergraduate Level ? ”
The sixth was held via Zoom on March 5, 2022 on the theme of “International Division of Labor among Firms in East Asia ―on the Automobile Industry’s Transition to Electric Vehicles”.

The Union, established in 1950, has planned two projects in commemoration of its 70 years in existence: the web publication of “Towards Creation of a Sustainable Economic Society in the 21st Century”, and an “Academic Channel” on YouTube. With the publication on the web in November, and the release of the YouTube channel in September, the Union is publicizing its own activities as well as communicating its academic role to society as a whole.

Following on from our web publication to commemorate our 70th anniversary, it has been decided to publishing on the web, under the revised title of Economics and Business Forum. Contributions are to be invited from among members. On YouTube, the Academic Channel will continue to be broadcast as before.

The Union celebrated in 1980 the 30th anniversary of its founding by launching a variety of activities, including the publication of The Information Bulletin.
