Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession (CSGMEP)
CSMGEP was created by the AEA more than 50 years ago in response to concerns about the underrepresentation of several minority and historically disadvantaged groups in economics and economic policy decisions, despite the fact that these groups comprise a growing proportion of the population and contribute significantly to the economic outcomes of the country. To address this issue, the committee monitors the racial and ethnic diversity of the economics profession and oversees educational, mentoring and internship programs for the advancement of racial/ethnic minority groups in economics.
