Aims and Scopes

The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management aims to provide a platform for the dissemination of innovative research addressing the intersection of environmental issues and economic principles. The journal's core areas reflect the diverse methodologies and approaches to understanding the complex relationships between economic activities and environmental outcomes.
  1. Environmental Policy Analysis:
    This area focuses on the evaluation of environmental policies and regulations, examining their effectiveness, efficiency, and impacts on various sectors and demographics.
  2. Economic Valuation of Environmental Goods:
    Research in this scope seeks to quantify the economic value of natural resources and ecosystem services, utilizing methods such as contingent valuation, hedonic pricing, and cost-benefit analysis.
  3. Behavioral Economics and Environmental Decision-Making:
    This focus area explores how psychological factors, social norms, and behavioral nudges influence individuals' and organizations' environmental choices and actions.
  4. Climate Change Economics:
    The journal consistently addresses the economic implications of climate change, including mitigation strategies, adaptation measures, and the socio-economic impacts of climate policies.
  5. Natural Resource Management:
    This area examines the economic principles underlying the sustainable management of natural resources, including water, fisheries, and forests, and their interactions with economic systems.
  6. Impact of Environmental Degradation on Human Health:
    Research in this scope investigates the economic consequences of environmental pollution and degradation on public health outcomes, linking environmental quality to healthcare costs and productivity.
  7. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Environmental Issues:
    The journal encourages interdisciplinary research that integrates economic analysis with insights from ecology, sociology, and political science to address complex environmental challenges.
The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management has identified several emerging themes that reflect the evolving landscape of environmental research. These trends indicate a growing interest in innovative approaches and interdisciplinary frameworks to tackle pressing environmental issues.
  1. Integration of Behavioral Economics in Environmental Policy:
    Recent publications highlight the role of behavioral economics in shaping effective environmental policies, emphasizing the importance of understanding human behavior and decision-making processes.
  2. Climate Adaptation Strategies:
    There is an increasing focus on research related to adaptation strategies in response to climate change, exploring how communities and economies can adjust to new environmental realities.
  3. Circular Economy and Sustainable Practices:
    Studies examining the transition to a circular economy, which emphasizes reuse and recycling, are gaining traction as societies seek sustainable alternatives to linear economic models.
  4. Impact of Technology on Environmental Outcomes:
    Emerging research explores the implications of technological advancements, such as renewable energy technologies and smart city innovations, on environmental sustainability and economic performance.
  5. Environmental Justice and Equity:
    A growing emphasis on environmental justice highlights the socio-economic disparities in environmental impacts and the need for equitable policy solutions that address these inequalities.
  6. Interconnectedness of Global Environmental Issues:
    Research increasingly recognizes the interconnectedness of global environmental challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, necessitating collaborative and synergistic approaches.

Declining or Waning

As the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management evolves, certain themes have shown a decline in prominence. This waning focus may reflect shifting priorities within the field or a saturation of research in specific areas.
  1. Traditional Resource Extraction Economics:
    Research focusing solely on traditional resource extraction methods and their economic implications has decreased, likely due to a growing emphasis on sustainable practices and renewable resources.
  2. Static Models in Environmental Economics:
    There has been a noticeable decline in the use of static economic models that do not account for dynamic environmental changes and feedback loops, as the field increasingly favors dynamic and adaptive modeling approaches.
  3. Single-Dimensional Environmental Impact Assessments:
    The trend toward comprehensive assessments that consider multiple dimensions of environmental impacts has overshadowed studies that only evaluate single-factor impacts, leading to a decline in their publication.
  4. Generalized Economic Equilibrium Models:
    While still relevant, the use of generalized equilibrium models in environmental economics has waned as researchers seek more nuanced, sector-specific analyses that better capture the complexities of environmental issues.
  5. Environmental Economics without Behavioral Insights:
    There is a decreasing focus on purely economic analyses that do not incorporate behavioral insights, as the field recognizes the importance of understanding human behavior in addressing environmental challenges.
