Socio‐Economic Organisations: I. International Institute for Empirical Social Economics (INIFES)

Editorial Note: It has been decided to commence a series of short but informative articles on the activities of non‐profit organisations pursuing social economic objectives throughout the world. The aim of this series is to bring to the notice of all social economists the infinite variety of such organisations in the hope that this may promote more international co‐operation and further the cause of social economics as a recognised discipline. Such an objective necessitates the co‐operation of the organisation concerned. Consequently, the heads of organisations wishing to be included in the series are requested to contact the Editor. The general format envisaged is set out in this article, the first of the series, namely on the activities of the International Institute for Empirical Social Economics (INIFES).
