Other Economic Societies
Economics is a wide ranging discipline which lends itself to many specialist paths. As a result there are a number of other economics societies and associations which focus on specialist areas of the discipline. Some of these organisations will provide discounts or other benefits to ESA Members on membership and events. Listed below are just a few.
Australasian Agricultural & Resource Economics Society (AARES) promotes research relevant to Australasia in agricultural, environmental, food, and resource economics and agribusiness. The Branches of AARES organise seminars and social events to meet the aims of the Society and to provide a meeting place for those with interests in agricultural and resource economics. Each year, one Branch will host the annual conference, featuring workshops and symposia on topics of current regional interest, and sponsor diverse and stimulating seminar programs.
The Australian Health Economics Society (AHES) promotes the study, practice and development of the field of health economics in Australia, and the role of health economics analysis in informing policy and health practice in Australia and internationally. AHES supports virtual and face-to-face networking and knowledge dissemination for members and interested colleagues, with a particular focus on new researchers. The Society is an advocate for the key role of health economics research and analysis in improving the health and welfare of the population and the performance of the health system. Members of AHES are drawn from across Australia, New Zealand and internationally. Our annual conference regularly draws presenters and attendees from around Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and North America. Health economics in Australia is an exciting and rewarding field for the seasoned professional or the casual visitor.
