About.

The CAEE-ACEE strives to increase the understanding of how energy and economics relate to each other, and to provide a forum for the free exchange of these concepts. ​


The CAEE is an independent membership organization that brings together individuals from academia, business organizations, and government from all areas of the energy industry. CAEE strives to increase the understanding of how energy and economics relate to each other, and to provide a forum for the free exchange of these concepts. We hold meetings and conferences each year, which cover energy topics and issues here at home, and discuss how these issues relate to the broader issues of the global energy scene.

The CAEE-ACEE aims to:
​
  • Provide a platform for high-quality debates over Canadian energy industry topics. 
  • Become the primary facilitator of Canadian energy economics discussions between industry, government, and academia.
  • Support scholastic research in energy economics through scholarships and funding programs.
  • Facilitate the use of energy economics research as the basis for sound policy decisions.

As a member of IAEE, you will be able to take part in the international energy scene by making personal and professional contacts with others around the world. You will also be afforded the opportunity to take part in events such as the International Energy Conference hosted by IAEE, along with conferences held by our national affiliate.
​
The CAEE is the Canadian affiliate of the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE). If you are ready to join IAEE, you may sign up online by using the IAEE's application form. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of IAEE membership, take some time to review the membership section. If you have any unanswered questions, you may contact IAEE Headquarters at iaee@iaee.org for further information.

Maya Papineau 

Member-at-Large
Maya Papineau is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Carleton University. Her work has addressed several research questions in empirical energy economics. Recent work includes quantifying a tenant-side split incentives problem among large commercial customers of a Connecticut utility, evaluating the realized cost-effectiveness of building energy standards, and implementing a randomized control trial in Alberta to test the effect of visualizing home heat loss on energy consumption. She has published in The Energy Journal, Energy Policy, and Energy Economics, among other journals. Between 2013 - 2020, Dr. Papineau has been a primary recipient, co-applicant, or team member for over $600,000 in grant funding to conduct her research.

Emily Zong

Secretary
Emily managed small teams of PhDs to build patentable algorithms in predictive analytics at RS Energy Group. She joined the company as one of the early employees, right before it was bought by Warburg Pincus, and exited the firm when it was sold for $1 billion as one of the larger private equity acquisitions this year in oil and gas analytics. At RS, Emily's teams rapidly prototyped early stage product concepts to test and validate hypotheses for handoff to products and data science teams. Every member of her team filed for a patent within the first year of their tenure. Emily holds a Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Arts Honours in Economics, and a Masters of Arts in Economics from Queen's University. She is currently on Sabbatical and will return as the Chief Data Scientist at a small oil and gas company in 2021.
