This article presents results from an opinion survey of members of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE) concerning issues ranging from basic market failure propositions to current policy questions to environmental attitudes. The topical issues considered span the discipline and include pollution, growth and sustainability, fisheries, forestry, and energy economics. We assess the degree to which there is a consensus among AERE members on specific issues and use a multivariate analysis to determine whether differences can be predicted by observable characteristics. We find that AERE members have reached consensus on many issues, but there are a few key areas where this is not the case. The multivariate analysis of survey responses indicates that the level of concern about the environment and natural resources, political ideology, and individual characteristics help explain the opinions of AERE members.
