'the advancement of education'
The Society endeavours to advance the study and teaching of economics and to provide a forum for the discussion of Scottish economic problems and their relationship to the political and social life of Scotland. We do this by running an annual academic conference and by organising an event for schools.
Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'
Objectives: The objects of the Society shall be: (a) to advance the study and teaching of economics on the widest basis, in accordance with the Scottish tradition of political economy inspired by Adam Smith. and in furtherance thereof (b) to provide a forum for the discussion of Scottish economic problems and their relationship to the political and social life of Scotland. In pursuit of the foregoing objects the Society will undertake: (a) to publish the Scottish Journal of Political Economy on terms consistent with the objects of the Society and at intervals to be agreed by the Council of the Society and a commercial publishing company selected by Council for this purpose. (b) to arrange the publication of reprints of Scottish economic classics and such other works as may appear to the Council of the Society to be appropriate. (c) to promote the understanding of economic issues in general, and of Scottish economic issues in particular, by means such as conferences, support for research or other study of economics, or other activities deemed proper by the Council of the Society.
