The School of Economics is first listed in the 2012 Calendar as one of the schools, departments, centres and programs that the Vice-Chancellor has determined shall be placed under the supervision of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. [2012 Calendar p. 335/336]

In 2020 the school described itself as having been established to serve as the primary institutional vehicle for Economics research and education within the University of Sydney. In the year of its establishment, 2011, it inaugurated an annual public lecture series – the Warren Hogan Memorial Lecture – devoted to the economic analysis of public policy issues. It commemorates Warren Pat Hogan (1929–2009), Professor of Economics in the University of Sydney, 1968–1998.The Memorial Lecture was hosted alternatively by the University of Sydney and UTS.
