Contributions of women at the intersection of agricultural economics and environmental and natural resource economics

This paper discusses contributions that women at the intersection of agricultural economics and environmental and resource economics have made over the past several decades to their profession, through both research and leadership. We highlight research contributions in the following areas: land use and conservation, non-market valuation, environmental policy design, and climate and energy economics. Key examples of leadership within the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association and the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists are also discussed. We conclude with some brief personal reflections regarding our experience working at this interface.
