The Chinese Economists Society (CES) is a non-profit academic organization(Its previous name was "The Chinese Young Economists Society"), established on May 26, 1985 in New York city by a group of Chinese students and scholars studying economics and business in the United States. It is an international economists society which has built a reputation in both the North America and China. Now it has hundreds of members and an advisory committee consisting of Nobel Laureates Kenneth J. Arrow, Lawrence Klein, Herbert Simon, and some other world know economists from the United States, China, and Taiwan.
    Most of the members of the CES are natives of the mainland China. Due to the unique background of its members, the society is probably the most influential group that bridges academic exchanges in economics and related areas between the US and China. The combination of deep roots in China and understanding of modern economics gives the CES the competitive edge in the profession. At the same time, the CES provides an efficient channel to influence the Chinese economic policies and advocate economic reforms in China.
    According to its Constitution, the CES promotes economic reforms and the open-door policy, encourages academic exchanges, and develops modern economic education in China. The CES has played an important role in bringing about fundamental changes in the economic system in China by influencing her economic policies. Indeed, many of those economists and reformers who have been actively involved in the economic reforms of China in the past ten years are members of the CES. Also, since it was founded, the CES has sponsored many conferences and symposia, produced numerous publications, and functioned as a conduit of communication among scholars of the mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, the rest of the world. It has continuously been an open academic society which welcomes economists from various background and economic research reflecting different views. Besides, the CES has held an annual meeting every year since it's founding in 1985.
