The Official Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists

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.

Manuscripts submitted to JEEM must be written in English. Authors who require information about language editing and copyediting services pre- and post-submission should visit http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/authorshome.authors/languagepolishing or contact authorsupport@elsevier.com for more information. Please note Elsevier neither endorses nor takes responsibility for any products, goods or services offered by outside vendors through our services or in any advertising. For more information please refer to our Terms and Conditions http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/termsconditions.cws_home/termsconditions.

Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout. Margins must be at least one inch on all sides and fonts should be no smaller than 12 point. The title abstract page, described below, must be included. Papers not meeting these minimal formatting guidelines 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 in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com .

Electronic Transmission of Accepted Manuscripts. Authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via either computer disk, e-mail, or FTP, after all revisions have been incorporated and the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Submission as an e-mail attachment is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes (jeem@elsevier.com). Manuscripts prepared using TeX or LaTeX are welcome; however, LaTeX(2e) is strongly preferred. Note that the use of other specialized versions of TeX or extensive use of custom macros may necessitate conventional typesetting from the hard-copy manuscript. Hard-copy printouts of the manuscript and art must also be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully.

Preparation of Manuscript

Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout and pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:

The title page (p. 1) should contain the article title, authors' names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).

The Abstract page (p. 2) must contain the article title and a single paragraph summarizing the main findings of the paper in less than 150 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.

References should be cited in the text by Arabic numerals in brackets, e.g., [1], [2], etc. For abbreviations of journal titles, consult "Abbreviations of Names and Serials" reviewed in Mathematical Reviews (Mathematical Reviews Annual Index , American Mathematical Society, 1990). Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text. Please note the following examples.

[1] J.K. Stranlund, K.K. Dhanda, Endogeneous monitoring and enforcement of a transferable emissions permit system, J. Environ. Econom. Management 38 (1999) 267-282.
[2] G. Peterson, T. Mueller, Regional impact of federal tax and spending policies, in E. Arnold (Ed.), Alternatives to Confrontation, Heath, Lexington, MA, 1980, pp. 281-301.
[3] D. Feenberg, E.S. Mills, Measuring the Benefits of Water Pollution Abatement, Academic Press, New York, 1980.

Figures should be submitted in EPS or TIFF format once a paper is accepted. Color or gray scale photographs should always use a minimum of 300 dpi. For bitmapped line drawings, use a minimum of 1000 dpi. For combination bitmapped line/halftone (color or gray scale), a minimum of 500 dpi is required. Please refer to http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.

Color Figures . Illustrations in color in the printed issue can be accepted only if the author defrays the cost. However, if together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures, then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether these illustrations are reproduced in color in the printed version. For color reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. Please visit http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions for further instructions on preparing electronic artwork.

Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below.

Preparation of Supplementary Material

Supplementary files offer additional possibilities for publishing supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips, and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect ( http://www.sciencedirect.com). To ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please provide the data in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. Please note, however, that supplementary material will not appear in the printed journal. For more detailed instructions please visit our artwork instruction pages at http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions.

Author Proofs and reprints
Page proofs will be sent electronically to the corresponding author. Proofs should be corrected carefully; the responsibility for detecting errors lies with the author. Corrections should be restricted to instances in which the proof is at variance with the manuscript. Extensive alterations will be charged.

The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
