ISSN = 1750-6816 (print)The Review of Environmental Economics and Policy (REEP) is a
peer-review ed journal ofenvironmental economics currently published twice each year. It is the official "accessible" journal of theAssociation of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE) , and complements the organization's other journal, theJournal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM), which has a more-technical research orientation. REEP was conceived after years of careful consideration by the Association. [cite web |url=http://reep.oxfordjournals.org/content/vol1/issue1/index.dtl#EDITORIALS |title=Editorials in the inaugural issue ] Just as theJournal of Economic Perspectives is to theAmerican Economic Review , REEP is intended to fill the gap between traditional academic research journals in environmental economics (like JEEM) and the general interest press by providing a widely accessible yet scholarly source for the latest thinking on environmental economics and related policy. REEP publishes symposia, articles, and regular features that contribute to one or more of the following goals: to identify and synthesize lessons learned from recent and ongoing environmental economics research; to provide economic analysis of environmental policy issues; to promote the sharing of ideas and perspectives among the various sub-fields of environmental economics; to strengthen the linkages between environmental economics research and environmental policy; to encourage communication and connections between academics and the wider policy community; to offer suggestions for future research; to provide insights and readings for use in the classroom; to address issues of interest to the environmental economics profession.REEP is currently edited by Robert Stavins [cite web |url=http://ksghome.harvard.edu/~rstavins/ |title=Robert Stavins web site ] of
Harvard University , along with co-editors Carlo Carraro [cite web |url=http://www.dse.unive.it/professori/Carraro/index.html |title=Carlo Carraro web site ] of theUniversity of Venice and Charles Kolstad [cite web |url=http://www2.bren.ucsb.edu/~kolstad/HmPg/ |title=Charles Kolstad web site ] of theUniversity of California at Santa Barbara . Articles published by the REEP are generally commissioned by the Editors, but are still typically subjected to anonymous peer review. Given the requirement that material which appears in the journal should be written for a non-technical audience and be highly readable, the submission of unsolicited manuscripts is not encouraged. There are simply too few other outlets for a paper with this structure if it turns out not to be appropriate for REEP. Speculative preparation of an article thus represents more of a gamble that usual in the world of economics journals. Instead, the Editors welcome proposals for topics and authors, so that the suitability of potential contributions can be considered carefully in advance. All such proposals are invited to be sent to the journal's editorial office. TheAssociation of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE) and the Editors of REEP hope that this new journal will evolve to continually reflect the interests and the changing needs of the world-wide membership of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, as well as REEP's broader constituency of interested but non-specialist readers.REEP is currently indexed by
EconLit and theJournal of Economic Literature .References
