  The Econometric Society
The principal activities of the Econometric Society, an international society for the advancement of economic theory in its relation to statistics and mathematics, consist of the publication of a journal, Econometrica, and the arrangement of scientific meetings in various parts of the world.
The American summer meeting of the Econometric Society was held at the University of Minnesota in September, 1951, in conjunction with the meetings of the American Mathematical Society, Mathematical Association of America, Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and Section A of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The Econometric Society is Cooperating informally with the Training Center for Economic and Financial Statistics which is being established in Santiago, Chile, by the Inter American Statistical Institute and Pan American Union as part of the technical assistance program of the United Nations.

 The Econometric Society

The Econometric Society's first president was Irving Fisher and its first council members included Frisch, Roos, Schumpeter, Wilson, Luigi Amoroso, Ladislaus von Bortkiewicz, Arthur Bowley, François Divisia and Wl.
Besides the "Cowles" approach to econometrics, the most significant was the launch of Neo-Walrasian general equilibrium theory.

 Economics Journals -- A chronology
The incentive to establish journals in economics was even greater than for other fields: recall that the status of economics as a serious, "scientific" subject was in grave doubt in the 1860s and 1870s, thus anything that could be done to "legitimize" it professionally was encouraged.
Published by the Econometric Society (founded 1930), Econometrica was initiated by Irving Fisher and Ragnar Frisch (who served as editor for a long time), with the financial assitance of Alfred Cowles.
The easiest way was to form haphazard "societies" in a specialized academic subject and then hire a commercial publishing house to publish the "society's" journal.

 Econometric Society World Congress 2005
One of the earliest contributors was the London merchant and mercantilist, Thomas Mun (1571-1641) whose emphasis on the importance of the balance of trade in economic prosperity deeply influenced subsequent economic thought.
William Petty (1623-1687) was an advocate of data collection and quantitative enquiry in economics and other issues of state whose own exercises in political arithmetic’ included an attempt to estimate national income and can be seen as early examples of applied econometrics.
In his support for the use of mathematical analysis in economics and in his practical use of economic statistics, he can be seen as one of the first exponents of recognisably modern econometric methods.
