About Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy provides a forum to address contemporary and emerging policy issues within an economic framework that informs the decision-making and policy-making community.

AEPP welcomes submissions related to the economics of public policy themes associated with agriculture; animal, plant, and human health; energy; environment; food and consumer behavior; international development; natural hazards; natural resources; population and migration; and regional and rural development.

Two categories of articles are published in AEPP, Featured Articles and Submitted Articles.  Featured Articles are solicited by the editors and members of the editorial board. In addition, we welcome proposals from authors for Featured Articles (two-to-three papers), mini-Special Issues composed of Featured Articles (four-to-seven papers), or Special Issues composed of Featured Articles (eight or more papers).  See the Author Guidelines page for more details.
