Fellowships
The International Economic Association has instituted two honorific fellowship awards: the Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished Fellow and IEA Fellow. For both categories of fellowship, the IEA announced an initial group in each category. Thereafter, a nominating committee is formed and seeks nominees from around the world to create a list of candidates who will be put up for vote. The same nominating committee will be responsible for the selection of both the Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished Fellows and IEA Fellows.

Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished Fellows
The Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished Fellows will (excluding the initial set) be selected every three years and shortly before the World Congress. The Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished award will take place at small ceremony at the respective IEA World Congress. Effort will be made to bring the new Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished Fellows to the Congress for the occasion.
Initially, the title of Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished Fellow was conferred to all living past presidents of IEA from the time of inception of IEA. Thereafter, starting with the World Congress in 2021, every three years, the IEA will confer this title to up to 6 distinguished economists at a time, who have made significant contribution to economics, especially in the area of international economic development and who have an outstanding record of research and, ideally, some influence on policymaking.
Conferred to: distinguished economists worldwide
Frequency: every three years
Next award date: December 2026 presented at IEA World Congress
Number of awards: up to 6.

IEA Fellows
IEA Fellows will be announced every year. Effort will be made to achieve regional diversity and gender balance. We should recognize excellence in research publications and in research-driven contributions to popular writing, economics curriculum, and policy work.
The Nominating Committee will take it upon itself to ensure regional diversity and gender balance.
As for the initial set of IEA Fellows, all living Executive Committee members of IEA, since its inception, were conferred the title of IEA Fellow. Thereafter, up to 10 IEA Fellows will be selected each year by the Nominating Committee.
For this purpose, the nominating committee will put together a list of names. The Executive Committee and members of the Council will be invited to nominate candidates for the award; the nominating committee will have the right to add on more names. The nominating committee will then create a short list and put this up for vote by all Schumpeter-Haberler Distinguished Fellows and IEA Fellows.
Conferred to: economists worldwide who have made an important contribution through the creation or dissemination of new ideas and high-quality policy work
Frequency: annual
Next award date: 2025
Number of awards each year: 10
