[cite web |url=http://www.env-econ.net/2008/01/top-journals-in.html |title=www.env-econ.net ]Established in 1925 by the founder of the American Economic Association, Richard T. Ely at the University of Wisconsin, Land Economics specializes in publishing innovative, conceptual, and empirical research of direct relevance to economists. The journal offers international applied research on such topics as transportation, energy, urban and rural land use, housing, environmental quality, public utilities, and natural resources. The journal eschews highly technical theoretical articles and emphasizes applied and empirical research, clearly explained.

University of Wisconsin–Madison . Bromley was selected as a Fellow of theAssociation of Environmental and Resource Economics in 2007.Back issues of Land Economics beginning with volume 24 (1948) are available online at academic and public libraries and research institutions that subscribe to the
