Members of the NZAE typically have a degree in economics or commerce and in the normal course of work use the tools of economic analysis as teachers, investigators or advisors on economic matters.
The NZAE holds an annual conference. In addition it publishes the Association’s Journal New Zealand Economic Papers, which is distributed electronically free to members, three times per year. Members receive a complimentary subscription to Asymmetric Information, the Association’s newsletter, featuring frequent (every 1-2 weeks) posts on topics of interest to professional economists and enthusiasts, in New Zealand and elsewhere.

Student e-Membership
The NZAE invites students of economics to join as e-members. This is free membership for students entitling them to electronic-only communications via email:
- Asymmetric Information; and
- NZEP notifications/abstracts (not the full journal).
Conference attendance for e-members remains at non-member (student) rates.
Please complete the 2024 NZAE Student e-Membership Form, and send a scanned copy to economists@nzae.org.nz to register your interest.
Note: e-membership is an alternative to full student membership (see above for details).
