Public Choice Society
The Public Choice Society is an organization that focuses on the intersection of economics and political science. It promotes the study of how public decisions are made and how individual behavior influences political outcomes. The society encourages research that applies economic principles to political processes, helping to understand issues like voting, government policies, and public goods.
Founded in 1969, the society hosts annual meetings and publishes a journal called the Public Choice. Members include scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in topics such as political economy, voter behavior, and government failure. The society aims to foster collaboration and discussion among those studying these important areas.
