Mari-Claudia Jiménez participated on the panel "Recovering Cuba's Looted Artworks" at the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy (ASCE) conference entitled "Cuba in a World of Uncertainty."
ASCE is a non-profit, non-political organization with the following goals: to study the elements and processes involved in the expected transition of Cuba to a free-market economy and a democratic society; promote scholarship, research, and publications on economic studies by its members; and to pursue the study of the Cuban economy in a broad sense, with particular emphasis on the financial, economic, social, legal and environmental aspects of Cuba as it is today and its process of transition.
Affiliated with the American Economic Association and the Allied Social Sciences Association of the United States, ASCE maintains professional contacts with economists inside Cuba -- whether independent or associated with the Cuban government -- who are interested in engaging in scholarly discussion and research.
