We are a professional association of economists concerned with the under-representation of Hispanic Americans in the economics profession at a time when Hispanics represent 18.7 percent of the United States’ population.
Our primary goals include:
ASHE is an open membership society; anyone can join who is interested in our mission.
We host our regular business meeting at the Allied Social Science Association (ASSA) Annual Meetings.
ASHE members benefit from regular updates and information on employment, research and grant opportunities, and graduate-student programs/fellowships/scholarships. We also mentor graduate students and junior faculty.
I am deeply honored by the trust the American Society of Hispanic Economists’ membership has placed in me to lead the organization in 2025. It is a privilege to serve an organization that has profoundly impacted the careers and lives of countless economists, including my own. I am mindful of and grateful for the many individuals whose dedication, vision, and leadership have shaped ASHE into the organization it is today. I would like to recognize the outgoing past president Dr. Alfonso Flores-Lagunes and President Dr. Francisca Antman for their patience and mentorship in helping me prepare for this role.
