Economic consensus is the collective judgment, position, and opinion of the community of economists. Consensus implies general agreement, though not necessarily unanimity.

Consensus is normally achieved through communication at conferences, the publication process, econometric validation of existing policies or experimental economics. While consensus in economics is considered to be broad there are many challenges communicating this consensus outside of the economics community due to politicization of economic policy, the presence of lobby & policy organizations as well as the source selection issue which occurs with scientific consensus.
