A next-generation platform for water economics research
A new chapter in water economics research is beginning with the introduction of the Journal of Water Economics (JWE), the open-access continuation of Water Resources and Economics (WRE), a leading journal in the field since 2013. Originally published by Elsevier, WRE will be discontinued at the end of 2025, after 52 issues and more than 250 articles.
