History

[edit]

The society was founded in 1864[7] as the Swiss Statistical Society (German: Schweizerische Statistische Gesellschaft, (SSG)).[8] In 1937, it changed its name to the Swiss Society for Statistics and Economics (German: Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Statistik und Volkswirtschaft, (SGSV)).[9] In 2001, the name was slightly altered to the Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics (German: Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Volkswirtschaft und Statistik, (SGVS)).[8][10]

The topics discussed at the annual meetings of the SSES are regularly covered in Swiss newspapers.[11] These meetings attract figures in municipal, cantonal, and federal government in Switzerland, alongside economists and scientists from Switzerland and abroad.[12] Past topics have included the industrialisation of Switzerland,[13] full employment and the right to work,[14][15] population dynamics and the social position of women,[16] competition,[12] dirigisme and regulation,[17][18] and the European debt crisis.[19]

The SSES gives several annual awards,[20] including an Economic Journalism Award for journalists.[21][22]
