Elections for ESA offices

[Noussair, Charles - (cnoussair)]

Call for nominations

Dear ESA membership, 
  
We would like to invite you to nominate candidates for the following Economic Science Association offices: 

 

- Asia-Pacific Vice-President (2-year term eligible for reappointment; outgoing officeholder Erte Xiao)

 

- Americas Vice-President (2-year term eligible for reappointment; outgoing officeholder Alessandra Cassar)

- Vice President of Information, one position (6 year-term, renewable, outgoing officeholder Ted Turocy)

 

- Americas members of Executive Committee, two positions (3-year term, not renewable; outgoing members: Alex Imas, Judd Kessler) 

 

- Asia-Pacific member of Executive Committee, one position (3-year term, not renewable; outgoing member: Jingjing Zhang). 

 

- Europe/Africa member of Executive Committee, four positions (2 with a 3-year term, 2 with a 2-year term; outgoing members Björn Bartling, Subhasish Modak Chowdhury, Pedro Rey-Biel and Joël van der Weele).

 

For historical reasons, the distribution of the end dates of terms has become imbalanced, both overall and across the three ESA regions.  This year, two of winning candidates for members from the Europe/Africa region will serve two-year terms instead of the customary three years to ensure a more consistent rotation. Which candidate will serve for which term length will be drawn at random by the Elections committee at the World Meetings in July.

All current ESA members are eligible to hold each of these offices except those who have previously held the same office.

Nominations can be entered until March 6, 2026 at https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=CqR3Zh56MkmK14vjAdGnINebg9g09a9IpeT6F0cW7ARUMklYNFFGNUNKNEQ0OFRKVDVXSVgxUE83SC4u

Please keep in mind that it is important for us to have broad representation on the Executive Committee, including field, geographic location, and individual backgrounds.

 

From these nominations, the Election Committee will propose a limited slate of candidates who are willing to serve, and this slate will be approved by the Executive Committee [Bylaws IV.2]. Voting by all ESA members will take place starting in mid-April, and the winning candidates will take office at the time of the ESA World Meetings in July.

The 2025 ESA Election Committee,
