Research in Environmental Economics - NCEE Working Paper Series

EPA's National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE) publishes a working paper series on research in environmental economics. These papers are either authored by NCEE economists or produced with funding from NCEE.

The working papers are distributed for purposes of information and discussion. The opinions and findings expressed in these papers are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of EPA or NCEE. NCEE is committed to maintaining a high standard of quality in the NCEE Working Paper Series. All papers submitted for publication must first undergo a peer review by a minimum of one subject matter expert for the research described in the manuscript. Reviews focus on the technical quality and clarity of presentation, and reviewers may or may not be affiliated with NCEE.

All researchers in NCEE are invited to submit their work to the NCEE Working Paper Series for publication, including collaborative works with researchers outside of NCEE. In addition, papers and research funded by NCEE are eligible for publication, regardless of whether or not an NCEE researcher is a co-author.

Any questions regarding the NCEE Working Paper Series can be addressed to the Managing Editor, Cody Nehiba.
