Call for Proposals for Articles. Proposals for articles are welcomed by
the Review of Environmental Economics and Policy, published by Oxford
University Press for the Association of Environmental and Resource
Economists. The Review fills the gap between the popular press and
scholarly environmental and resource economics journals. The Review
publishes articles that serve one of several diverse goals: to synthesize
and integrate lessons learned from active lines of environmental economic
research; to provide economic analysis of environmental policy issues; to
encourage cross-fertilization of ideas among the various sub-fields and
perspectives of environmental economics; to offer readers an accessible
source for state-of-the-art thinking; to suggest directions for future
research; to provide insights and readings for classroom use; and to
address issues relating to the environmental economics profession.

If this sounds somewhat like a description of the Journal of Economic
Perspectives, it is not by coincidence. Our goal is to produce a journal
— the Review of Environmental Economics and Policy – which is to the
flagship Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, as the JEP is
to the American Economic Review. Rather than focusing on technical and
methodological aspects of research, let alone on specific analytical
models, the articles in the Review tend to focus instead on the broad
lessons that can be learned — for environmental and resource economics or
for public policy — from broader lines of research.

Authors of recent, current, and forthcoming articles in the Review
include, among others: Orley Ashenfelter, Maureen Cropper, Partha
Dasgupta, Larry Goulder, Michael Hanemann, Geoff Heal, Tom Lyon, Rob
Mendelsohn, Bill Nordhaus, Wally Oates, Billy Pizer, Bob Pindyck, Paul
Portney, Jay Shogren, Kerry Smith, Nick Stern, Joe Stiglitz, Larry
Summers, Catherine Wolfram, Kip Viscusi, and John Weyant.

Articles published by the Review are commissioned by the Editors, but also
subject to anonymous peer review. Although the submission of unsolicited
manuscripts is not encouraged, we welcome proposals for articles in the
form of brief outlines or informal queries. All such proposals should be
sent to the editorial office (www.reep_at_aere.org), and all will receive
prompt attention.
