The objectives of Omicron Delta Epsilon are the recognition of scholastic attainment and the honoring of outstanding achievements in economics; the establishment of closer ties between students and faculty in economics within and among colleges and universities; the publication of its official journal, The American Economist; and the sponsoring of panels at professional meetings such as the Irving Fisher and Frank W. Taussig competitions.
