Journals in Agricultural and natural resource economics
This portfolio provides a comprehensive overview of resource management, environmental sustainability, and agricultural markets. It supports researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in addressing global food security, conservation, and sustainable development challenges. Featuring innovative research, policy analysis, and case studies, these resources explore the economic dynamics of natural resources and rural economies, enabling informed decision-making and strategies for balancing economic growth with environmental preservation.
Resource and Energy Economics
Resource and Energy Economics publishes theoretical and empirical papers, firmly grounded in economic theory, that advance our understanding of and provide novel insights into environmental and natural resource problems and policies broadly defined, as well as analyses of energy use and markets that link resource and environmental issues to energy.Contributions may address any problem involving economic and environmental linkages, including, but not limited to, utilization, conservation and development of the earth's natural resources (renewable and non-renewable, including critical materials); climate change mitigation and adaptation; innovation and the energy transition; pathways to sustainable growth and development; international trade and global environmental problems; non-market valuation methodology and novel applications of valuation techniques; experimental or behavioural economics pertaining to environmental and natural resources; the choice and impact of environmental policy instruments; and economic choices and/or behaviour related to energy and the environment. Also of interest are energy-related papers addressing regional or global pollution as well as the relationships between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and markets.Resource and Energy Economics is an economics journal. Hence, economic analysis is central to all papers that we publish. We are most interested in research that advances the theoretical and/or empirical understanding of natural resource and environmental economics. We do not publish studies that are limited to engineering or cost analyses, empirical analyses that document relationships between variables without identifying the theory or underlying mechanism(s) giving rise to these relationships, or localized studies without broader relevance. Papers limited to the study of prices, markets or finance are not within the scope of the journal unless the topic is linked to natural resource and environmental issues (such as energy efficiency, consumption, externalities, renewables, environmental policy, resource extraction, climate, instrument choice, welfare change, etc.). Papers that are determined by the editors to not be a good fit with the above aims and scope or are deemed to not meet the scientific standards of the journal will be returned without review.- ISSN: 0928-7655
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management
The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) publishes theoretical and empirical papers addressing economic questions related to natural resources and the environment. To warrant publication in JEEM, papers must include carefully identified empirical findings, insightful theoretical analyses, or creative methodologies that are both novel and of broad interest to its readership.We recognize the boundaries of environmental and resource economics are subjective and evolving, but topics of interest include:Environmenta... policy design and instrument choice;Nonmarket valuation methods and their application to new, policy-relevant settings;Environment... behavior of firms, government officials and agencies, nonprofit organizations, households, or individuals;Renewabl... and non-renewable resource management and policy such as the economics of fisheries, forestry and fossil fuels;Climate change;Topics at the intersection of environmental and resource economics and development economics, energy economics, industrial organization, urban economics, transport economics, health economics, or agricultural economics.We also welcome interdisciplinary work from diverse teams of researchers as long as the paper's primary contribution focuses on economic questions.We do not publish book reviews, literature reviews, or policy briefs, and we rarely publish papers that replicate previously identified empirical relationships or apply established methods to new case studies. We also do not publish theoretical analyses that merely extend results from well-known models.In our review process, we pre-screen all papers and desk reject some. Papers that are desk rejected typically are considered poor topical or methodological fits or significantly below JEEM's quality standards.Papers that are rejected by JEEM will not be reconsidered for publication unless the editor in his or her decision letter makes this possibility explicit.- ISSN: 0095-0696
Food Policy
Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies.Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.Policy issues that are relevant to the journal include: • Food production, trade, marketing, and consumption • Nutrition and health aspects of food systems • Food needs, entitlements, security, and aid • Food safety and quality assurance • Technological and institutional innovation affecting food systems and access • Food systems and environmental sustainabilityConcep... and methodological articles should be written so that they are accessible to the journal's diverse international readership. We normally do not publish review papers, although we might make rare exceptions for rigorous and critical reviews on topical issues.See also Elsevier's Economics Journals- ISSN: 0306-9192
