Journal Title：Water Economics And Policy

Water resources management and other water-related decisions and policies are frequently guided by economic dimensions. Economic considerations, including efficiency, equity, production, allocation, and pollution, have expanded as water resources have become scarcer both in terms of quantity and quality. While economic analyses applied to the water sector are useful and educational, their policy implications are less obvious for guiding policymakers. Water Economics and Policy (WEP) will address the economic-policy interaction by publishing highly technical water economics research with clear relevance for policy. WEP will aim to target a wide range of economic questions at local, regional, national and international levels. It will accommodate work that is focused on specific sectors (such as urban, hydropower, irrigation, and environment) as well as work that is inter-sectoral in nature. Theoretical and empirical papers are sought as well as those that demonstrate the integration of economics with scientific perspectives to support policy analysis. WEP will also publish book reviews and selected featured policy articles by policymakers in the field of water.

水资源管理和其他与水有关的决策和政策经常受到经济层面的指导。随着水资源在数量和质量方面变得越来越稀缺，包括效率、公平、生产、分配和污染在内的经济考虑已经扩大。虽然应用于水部门的经济分析很有用且具有教育意义，但它们对指导决策者的政策影响并不明显。水经济与政策 (WEP) 将通过发表与政策明确相关的技术含量高的水经济学研究来解决经济与政策的相互作用。 WEP 旨在解决地方、区域、国家和国际层面的广泛经济问题。它将容纳专注于特定部门（如城市、水电、灌溉和环境）的工作以及具有跨部门性质的工作。寻求理论和实证论文以及证明经济学与科学观点相结合以支持政策分析的论文。 WEP 还将出版水领域决策者的书评和精选政策文章。
