An introduction to Journal of Environmental Economics and Management

Today, I would like to introduce a famous academic journal in environmental economics which is named as Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM). This journal is a peer-reviewed academic journal of environmental economics which published six times per year and it is also the official journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economics until 2016.

This journal is now has a history from 1974 to present and the current edit-in-chiefs are Roger von Haefen from North Carolina State University and Andreas Lange from University of Hamburg. In this journal, there are lots of innovative and original studies presented including the empirical and theoretical analysis in environmental economics. Topics of interest include environmental policy, environmental behavior, renewable and non-renewable resources and energy economics related to developing countries, etc.

Based on the studies published, the JEEM aims at analyzing and investigating the environmental problems connected to human activities. Although it is not a famous journal within the economic field, it does earn credits within the environmental economics. In order to widespread ideas and researches from JEEM, it is open-access for all researchers and students. Though JEEM is published by ELSEVIER, it still provide digital PDF and download services if connected with university internet. Some people may have the trouble to get access to the full-PDF version, but JEEM also provides the abstract online to review. Compared with other open access journals, JEEM may still behind total open access but it provides a great tool to grasp the innovative ideas in the world of environmental economics.

One thought on “An introduction to Journal of Environmental Economics and Management

  1. Thank you for your post! I am wondering what caused this journal to no longer be considered as the official journal for the Association of Environmental and Resource Economics. When looking up the journal’s open access guidelines, they seem to have two options. One of the options allows access to subscribers and the general public, however an open access fee has to be paid by the authors. The other option allow access to subscribers and select groups of people. This option does not require payment by the authors. Overall, I thought it was interesting that there are varying degrees of open access allowed for this journal.
