Judging by the context of the other acronyms, I think aae stands for "average annual earnings".

I'm afraid I don't know what 'aae' stands for. I agree with Barbara and Bill about most of the others except for: ie = from the Latin 'id est' meaning 'that is'. It is used to define something. eg = from the Latin 'exempli gratia' used to mean 'for example'. nb = from the Latin 'nota bene' meaning 'pay special attention to' or 'take special note of'. It is used to mark something out as especially important.
