The Society for Economic Analysis Ltd (SEAL) is a registered charity charged with promoting the production, publication and dissemination of academic research in economics, especially by young academics. In pursuance of these objectives SEAL wholly owns The Review of Economic Studies Ltd. (RESL), which in turn produces and publishes the Review of Economic Studies, and owns the copyright for both the title and the contents.

The major charitable expenditures are as follows.

• Subsidised student subscriptions to The Review of Economic Studies
  
• Royal Economic Society Lecture
  
• The European Meetings
  
• Travel Grants

Royal Economic Society Lecture

Each year the SEAL sponsors the Review of Economic Studies lecture, a plenary lecture by a distinguished young economist which is given at the Royal Economic Society Annual Conference.

The European Meetings

The Review of Economic Studies European Meetings have been held annually in May since 1989. Every year, in line with the Review's tradition of encouraging the work of young economists, seven of the most promising graduating doctoral students in economics and finance in the world are selected to present their research to audiences in Europe. The meetings take place at the economics departments or institutes of three or four of major universities across Europe. Standard seminar presentations are given over two days to audiences invited by the local hosts and which include members of the journal’s editorial board.

This year (the eighteenth meeting) the tour visits three host venues. The dates are as follows:

May 8-9 University of Oslo
May 11-12 University of Essex
May 15-16 Tel Aviv University

The selection of graduates was made, as usual, by one of the journal’s foreign editors, this year Debraj Ray, Julius Silver Professor of Economics and Director of Graduate Studies, New York University.
