The purpose
of the American Journal of Agricultural Economics is to provide a forum
for creative and scholarly work in agricultural economics. Submitted
manuscripts should have a relationship to the economics of agriculture,
natural resources and the environment, or rural and community development.
Papers must necessarily have a problem orientation and demonstrate originality
and innovation in analysis, methods, or application. Analyses of problems
pertinent to
research, extension, and teaching are equally encouraged, as well as
interdisciplinary research with a significant economic component. Review
articles that offer a comprehensive and insightful survey of a relevant
subject, consistent with the scope of the Journal as discussed above,
will also be considered. All articles published, regardless of their
nature, will be held to the same set of scholarly standards.
