Review of Environmental Economics and Policy
Scope & Guideline
Bridging Theory and Practice for a Sustainable Future
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Environmental Economics Analysis:
The journal emphasizes rigorous economic analysis related to environmental issues, including the valuation of natural resources, the cost-effectiveness of environmental policies, and the economic impacts of environmental degradation. - Policy Evaluation and Development:
A core aim of the journal is to evaluate existing environmental policies and propose new policy frameworks that enhance sustainability and economic efficiency. This includes assessing the effectiveness of regulations and market-based approaches. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
It encourages interdisciplinary research that blends economics with other fields, such as public health, ecology, and social sciences, to provide holistic insights into environmental challenges. - Global and Local Perspectives:
The journal covers both global and localized environmental issues, offering analyses that are relevant across different geographical contexts, from developed to developing nations. - Focus on Climate Change:
The journal consistently addresses climate change economics, exploring adaptation and mitigation strategies, the economic implications of carbon pricing, and the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Trending and Emerging
- Environmental Justice and Equity:
There is a surge in papers addressing environmental justice, focusing on the disparities caused by environmental policies and their impacts on marginalized communities, highlighting the need for equitable solutions. - Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies:
Research centered on innovative strategies for climate change adaptation and mitigation is increasingly prominent, emphasizing the economic implications of transitioning to sustainable practices. - Health and Environmental Interconnections:
Emerging studies are increasingly linking environmental issues with public health outcomes, particularly concerning pollutants such as lead and their long-term effects on vulnerable populations. - Technological Innovations in Energy:
There is a growing focus on the economics of new energy technologies, including electric vehicles and renewable energy sources, reflecting the urgency of transitioning to sustainable energy systems. - Geospatial Analysis in Environmental Research:
The application of geospatial methods to analyze environmental issues and policies is gaining traction, providing more nuanced insights into spatial dynamics and policy effectiveness.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Resource Economics:
Research focused on traditional aspects of resource economics, such as classical extraction and allocation models, has decreased in favor of more integrative and contemporary approaches that consider sustainability and environmental justice. - Generalized Agricultural Economics:
While agriculture remains a vital topic, the specific focus on generalized agricultural economics without a clear link to environmental impacts has waned, as the journal increasingly emphasizes sustainable practices and the economic consequences of agricultural policies. - Single-Dimensional Environmental Policies:
The exploration of single-dimensional environmental policies, such as isolated pollution control measures, appears to be declining. There is a growing preference for research that integrates multiple dimensions of environmental and economic interactions. - Static Economic Models:
The use of static economic models that do not account for dynamic ecological feedbacks or changes over time is less prominent, as there is a trend towards more adaptive and responsive modeling approaches. - Historical Environmental Policy Analysis:
While historical analyses still hold value, there is a noticeable shift towards contemporary issues and future-oriented research, leading to a decrease in studies that focus solely on historical perspectives.
