History

The Economic Research Organization (ERO) was founded in 2020 to support research, education, and collaboration in economics. Originally launched as a project under the Open Collective Foundation, we provided early support for initiatives like sigecom (the ACM’s Special Interest Group in Economics) and econtwitter.net (a Mastodon instance for the economics community).
