Official Fellow Margaret (Meg) Meyer was elected Vice-President of the European Economic Association on 23 October 2024.

The European Economic Association (EEA) is a major network of economists across the continent, and it aims to advance research, policy and public engagement in economics. The election recognises Meg’s impact in the field of economics, especially her work on economic theory and organisational economics. Her tenure will guide the EEA’s initiatives over the coming years.

As part of the role, Meg will be Vice-President in 2025, President-elect in 2026 and then President of the Association in 2027.

Commenting on her election, Meg said,

“I am honoured and excited. A highlight of my career has been mentoring generations of students and postdocs, and I am particularly keen to strengthen the EEA’s involvement in supporting the careers of young economists.”

Professorial Fellow Abigail Adams-Prassl was also elected to the EEA Council for a five-year term from 2025. Abi works primarily in labour economics, and will bring her perspective on policy engagement and research on work, inequality and labour markets.
