Publication of Enduring Quality (PEQ)
Nomination Instructions

The Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE) Board of Directors presents this annual award to recognize authors or co-authors of a publication of enduring quality that appeared at least five years prior to the year of the award.

Nominated works are evaluated on their seminal nature and lasting contribution to environmental and resource economics. Place and type of publication are unrestricted. Posthumous awards will not be given. Nominees are not required to be members of AERE.

This is a significant honor for both AERE and its recipients. Members and nonmembers alike are encouraged to give thoughtful consideration to nominating publications that have made lasting contributions to the field.

Selection Process

Evaluation of nominated works and final selection are undertaken by a committee chaired by an AERE member.

Nomination Requirements

A complete nomination consists of:

  1. Online nomination form, including publication information and eligibility confirmation;

  2. Nomination statement (not to exceed three pages) describing the publication’s seminal nature and enduring value, supported by both qualitative and quantitative evidence of impact; and

  3. The publication itself, submitted as a PDF or provided via link if file upload is not feasible.

The nomination statement should focus on the significance and long-term impact of the publication and should not repeat publication details or eligibility information already provided in the form. The nomination statement may be prepared by multiple nominators, but only one nominator should submit the form on the group’s behalf.

Consideration Period

In the absence of a new or updated nomination, nominated publications will remain under consideration for three award cycles, beginning with the year of submission.

Notification

Award recipients and the nominators of selected publications will be notified following the completion of the review process.

How to Submit

All nominations must be submitted through the online nomination form.
