About USAEE

The United States Association for Energy Economics was founded in 1994 to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, experience, and issues among professionals interested in energy economics. We are the largest affiliate of the International Association for Energy Economics, which is as worldwide in its scope, as are its members, who come from diverse backgrounds - corporate, academic, scientific, and government. USAEE is not a lobbying organization or an advocacy group and focuses on advancing the understanding and application of economics across all facets of energy development and use while remaining policy-neutral.

USAEE is comprised of individual members, sustaining members, and regional chapters. Chapters frequently sponsor talks and sometimes conferences on energy issues of relevance to their local members. USAEE hosts an annual North American conference and each year also honors individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of energy economics with the Adelman-Frankel Award and Senior Fellow Awards.

There are many benefits of membership in USAEE. Members will gain a broader understanding of energy economics, policy-making, and theory. Members are kept well informed by our publications and conferences on events within the energy industry and the challenges that lie ahead. Furthermore, membership provides you with the opportunity to network within the largest association of energy professionals. For more information on membership with USAEE and IAEE, visit the membership section of our site. In addition, the USAEE Bylaws are available for download as a PDF.
