[3] Nobel Laureate
Apostolos Serletis took over as the society's second president in 2019. In 2024, Gaetano Antinolfi became the third and current president of the society. The goal of the SEM is to promote in economics—given the constraints of a
social science —the implementation of the strict rules of measurement and data gathering standards used in the
physical sciences .
Carnegie Mellon University , the
Center for Financial Stability , and the
University of Kansas are sponsors of the society.
