The Official Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists
Guide for Authors
The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural
resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying linkage between economic
systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social
control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics,
interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed. The journal
is intended to be of interest not only to research economists but also to the scientific community concerned with resource and environmental
management research.
JEEM Policy Concerning Replication For any paper published in this journal, all data must be clearly
documented. Computational methods must be explained in sufficient detail to permit replication, and data used in analyses must be made
available to any researcher for purposes of replication. The Editor must be notified at the time the paper is submitted to the journal,
if these conditions cannot be met.

of their grant awards. To learn more about existing agreements and policies please visit http://www.elsevier.com/fundingbodies.
Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout. Margins must be at least one inch on all sides and fonts should be

will be returned to the authors without review. JEEM will not normally consider for publication manuscripts exceeding 40 pages
(everything included).
Original papers will only be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the
same work has not been and is not currently submitted elsewhere, prior to the journal's making an editorial decision. Moreover, submission
of the article for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out, and any
person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the editor's
discretion. Articles and any other material published in JEEM represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to
reflect the opinions of the editor(s) and the publisher.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright
(for more information on copyright, see http://www.elsevier.com/copyright). This transfer will ensure the widest possible
dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating
transfer of copyright will be provided.
If excerpts or material from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain
written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors
