International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE) is an international non-profit society of professionals interested in energy economics. IAEE was founded in 1977, in the period of the energy crisis, when it became obvious that lack of knowledge on energy economics is one of the problems when dealing with the short- and long-term issues of energy supply and demand. IAEE is incorporated under USA laws and has headquarters in Chicago. IAEE has over 3,000 members worldwide (in over 70 countries). There are over 30 national chapters, in countries where membership exceeds 25 individual members.
The IAEE publishes a renowned academic quarterly journal: "The Energy Journal", and a newsletter "The IAEE Newsletter" .

Famous quotes containing the words association, energy and/or economics:
“They that have grown old in a single state are generally found to be morose, fretful and captious; tenacious of their own practices and maxims; soon offended by contradiction or negligence; and impatient of any association but with those that will watch their nod, and submit themselves to unlimited authority.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Since the beginning of time, three-quarters of the mental energy and of the lies inspired by vanity have been expended for their inferiors by people who are only abased by such expenditure. And Swann, who was easygoing and unaffected with a duchess, trembled at the thought of being scorned and put on airs when he was with a housemaid.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I am not prepared to accept the economics of a housewife.”
—Jacques Chirac (b. 1932)
