The Association of Caribbean Economists (ACE) was founded in July 1987, at the Jamaica Conference Centre in Kingston. The product of the efforts of economists from the four language areas of the region, since its formation, the Association has reflected the cultural and political diversity of the Caribbean. This diversity has been accompanied by a conviction of the necessity to achieve more cooperation and deeper integration between the Caribbean societies and peoples.
 
 
Our VISION is to make the Y.E.A. into a professional organization. We assist students in preparing themselves for the world of work, that is, life after University. We excite the intellectual acumen of students so that there will be no inhibitions in unlocking their true potential, we inform public discussions and promote divergent views.
