History
The Bangladesh Economic Association established the Dhaka School of Economics in February 2012.[4]
In 2017, Abul Barakat was elected president of the association and Jamaluddin Ahmed was elected its general secretary.[5] It is a member of the International Economic Association.[6]
Following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina led Awami League government, anti-discrimination BEA took control over the organization through an ad hoc committee but were rejected by the association.[7] The association created an interim committee led by Mohammed Helal Uddin, Abu Ahmed, Mahbub Ullah, and 26 others.[8] The new interim committee called for arrest of those responsible for attacks on association office on 12 and 17 February.[8]
