Its current president is Daniel McFadden of the University of California, Berkeley.

Among his contributions may be mentioned French and German Socialism (1883), Taxation in American States and Cities (1888), Monopolies and Trusts (1900), Outlines of Economics (1893), Studies in the Evolution of Industrial Society (1903), and Property and Contract (1914).
American Economic Association (1306 words)
If Institutionalists were overrepresented in its early membership rolls, it was because American marginalists were reluctant to join - either because they were suspicious of the AEA or were afraid their participation in it would be tantamount to acknowledging Institutionalists as professional equals in economics.
