Agricultural Economics (United Kingdom)

Aims & Scope

Agricultural Economics aims to disseminate the most important research results and policy analyses in our discipline, from all regions of the world.

Topical coverage ranges from consumption and nutrition to land use and the environment, at every scale of analysis from households to markets and the macro-economy.

Applicable methodologies include econometric estimation and statistical hypothesis testing, optimization and simulation models, descriptive reviews and policy analyses.

We particularly encourage submission of empirical work that can be replicated and tested by others.
