The main purpose of the Association of Dutch Caribbean Economists is to serve as a forum for high level discussions on Economic affairs in the Caribbean region in general and for the island of Curaçao in particular.

The content is at a post-graduate level and thus provides an excellent environment for economists and other individuals with a personal and/or professional interest in economics to share perspectives and to network with others in their field. In addition to this, prospective economists (students) are also more than welcome to join and interact.

Advantages of participating in this forum include;

• Self-development through attending lectures hosted by the Association. Moreover, owing to the wide variety of professional backgrounds and insights of the different members, cross-fertilization of knowledge and skill is inevitable.
• Keeping up to date with economic developments in a wide variety of economic sectors. E.g. on a macro level, policy level (Small and Medium Enterprises, Monetary policy, Immigration, Poverty, etc.) or socioeconomic disruptive effects from technological innovation. A wide variety of economic sectors.
• Meeting like-minded people for social and professional purposes.

The website also contains the presentations of past lectures, as well as archives of relevant third party publications.
