Water Economics and Policy《水经济与政策》(季刊). 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.
