Welcome from the President

 John Quiggin


The Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society (AARES) is an independent association of persons and organisations interested in agricultural, resource and environmental economics. Information about how to join the Society can be found here.

AARES is unique in its coverage of advanced theoretical work, empirically based applied analysis and application to current policy issues. Issues central to AARES concerns, including climate change, water policy, resource taxation and global food supplies, have never been more relevant or topical. So, whether you are an academic researcher, an applied economist or someone involved in the major policy issues of the day, there are lots of reasons to join AARES.

It’s already a good time to start thinking about papers and symposium proposals for the 2012 AARES Conference, to be held in Fremantle. It’s our 56th, which makes the Conference exactly as old as I am!

The new AARES website enables members to view and change your own personal details and pay your membership online.  Please log on using the User Name and Password previously emailed to you, check your details and ensure that your membership subscription is paid. If you have not yet been issued with log on details, please contact the AARES Central Office.
