Environmental & Resource Economics

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. The editors wish to encourage a pluralistic approach to both theoretical and applied contributions. The publication of empirically based, policy-oriented research is given a high priority in the Journal in order to further critical discussion. Environmental & Resource Economics will also accept papers with an interdisciplinary approach, where this helps to improve knowledge of the real world complexities present, provided that the analysis retains links to or components of economic thinking. The Journal is required reading for economists, economic geographers and other academics, professionals and officials with a working interest in environmental matters.

Environmental & Resource Economics（ERE）的主要关注点是将经济理论和方法应用于环境问题以及需要详细分析以改进管理策略的问题。当代环境辩论处于不断变化的状态，新的或相对未经探索的话题不断出现。该期刊为进一步探索与这些主题相关的原因、后果和政策反应提供了一个论坛，跨越一系列时空尺度直至全球维度。 编辑们希望鼓励对理论和应用贡献采取多元化的方法。为了进一步进行批判性讨论，该杂志高度重视发表基于经验的、以政策为导向的研究。Environmental & Resource Economics 还将接受采用跨学科方法的论文，这有助于提高对现实世界复杂性的了解，前提是分析保留与经济思维的联系或组成部分。该期刊是经济学家、经济地理学家和其他对环境问题感兴趣的学者、专业人士和官员的必读读物。
