    Has anyone worked with the latest household survey microdata?

    What has driven inflation in Ethiopia since 2021?

    Answer

    Studies in the Association's publications point mainly to food prices and exchange-rate pass-through, with money-supply growth adding pressure [1][2].

What members say about us

Economists, researchers, students and associate members on what the Association has meant for their work.

Membership in the Ethiopian Economics Association (EEA) has strengthened my connection with the economics profession and deepened my appreciation for evidence-based research and policy analysis. It provides a valuable platform for continuous learning, professional networking, and engaging with economic issues that shape Ethiopia’s development. I value EEA’s role in promoting economic knowledge and research and look forward to contributing to meaningful discussions and initiatives that support inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Ethiopia.

Connection with professionals and my Co-authors and my teachers; a place where i gain skills and knowledge.
