Environmental and Resource Economics primarily focuses on applying economic theories and methods to environmental issues that require detailed analysis to improve management strategies. Contemporary environmental debates are in a state of constant flux, with new or relatively unexplored topics continually emerging. This journal provides a platform for further exploration of the causes, consequences, and policy responses related to these themes, covering a range of spatial and temporal scales, up to the global level. Submissions to the journal should be directly or indirectly related to policy formulation and implementation processes. Areas of particular interest include: assessment and development of environmental policy tools; cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis; analysis of sectoral environmental policy impacts; modeling and simulation; institutional arrangements; resource pricing and valuation of environmental goods; and environmental quality indicators. The editors encourage a diverse approach to theoretical and applied contributions. The journal places a high value on publishing empirical, policy-oriented research to foster critical discussion. Environmental and Resource Economics also welcomes papers that adopt interdisciplinary approaches, provided that the analysis retains a connection to or component of economic thinking. This journal is essential reading for economists, economic geographers, and other scholars, professionals, and officials interested in environmental affairs.
