Environmental and Resource Economics

Aims & Scope

The primary concern of Environmental & Resource Economics (ERE) is the application of economic theory and methods to environmental issues and problems that require detailed analysis in order to improve management strategies.

The contemporary environmental debate is in a constant state of flux and new or relatively unexplored topics are continually emerging.

The Journal provides a forum for the further exploration of the causes, consequences and policy responses linked to these topics, across a range of spatial and temporal scales up to the global dimension.

Contributions to the Journal should directly or indirectly be relevant to the policy formulation and application process.

Areas of particular interest include: evaluation and development of instruments of environmental policy; cost-benefit and cost effectiveness analysis; sectoral environmental policy impact analysis; modelling and simulation; institutional arrangements; resource pricing and the valuation of environmental goods; environmental quality indicators.
