REPORT OF OUR REPRESENTATIVE TO THE SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH COUNCIL.

The article presents a report of the American Economic Association to the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). A number of committees of the Social Science Research Council continue to be active on matters of interest to the members of the American Economic Association, and a brief progress report on the work of these committees may be in order. The Committee on Economic Growth, under the chairmanship of Simon Kuznets, is continuing its far flung activities. Its foreign studies are well along and arrangements were made this past autumn for work on the Australian national accounts. A conference on the recruitment of a stable labor force in undeveloped areas is planned for the spring of 1958. The Committee on Business Enterprise Research has been inactive but an attempt is being made to reactivate it. In short, the SSRC continues to be active in a range of matter of interest to economist and continues to show a gratifying interest in economic issues for their own sake and in the interrelation between economics and the other social science.
