Abstract

Since its establishment in 1957, the Australasian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society (AARES) has gone through many changes but has continued to be highly valued by its members. In this paper, we update and expand Keith Campbell's earlier history of the Society. Notable changes include, the slowly shifting emphasis of members' work from farm issues towards resources, environment and development; changes to the name of the Society and its Journal; increasing internationalisation; the professional roles and interests of AARES members; the gender balance of the Society; and the number and types of awards given. Major changes in government departments and universities have had various impacts on AARES. The history highlights the intellectual and practical contributions made by AARES members and also the camaraderie that is a key benefit of being part of the Society. JEL Classification: A14
