Aims and Scope
Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis (JBCA) seeks to improve the analytical practice of benefit-cost analysis and to expand scholarly knowledge. Its scope includes topics in social policy such as education, crime, poverty, and employment; as well as in environment, health, energy, natural hazards, terrorism, defense, and other areas to which benefit-cost analysis and related tools can be applied. Articles that skillfully apply benefit-cost tools are especially encouraged as are theoretical papers with some link to empirical application. All levels of analysis are sought: international, national, state, regional, and local. Authors focusing on principles and standards, reviews of areas of application, and shorter pieces that demonstrate implementable "skills of the trade," are also encouraged but they should contact the Editor at JBCA@umbc.edu prior to submission.
JBCA Call for Submissions for the
Harberger Prize for Retrospective Analysis
The Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis (JBCA) is pleased to announce the Arnold Harberger Prize for Retrospective Analysis. The award and an honorarium of at least $2,000 will go to the best retrospective paper published in the JBCA with a determination to be made in late Spring, 2013. Professor Harberger’s work sets a high standard for relevance and impact to which the winning paper should aspire. Papers will go through the usual double blind peer review at the JBCA and may be an empirical, retrospective case study in any field and any part of the world, or an advance in methodological thought on retrospective analysis. Typical combined review and publication lag is about 8 months so submissions are encouraged by the early summer of 2012. Initial funding is provided by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Friends of Arnold Harberger. If in doubt about the relevance of a submission, please contact the editors at
jbca@umbc.edu . The winner will be chosen in consultation with the Editorial Board. Please submit your paper though the usual process via the JBCA website at http://www.degruyter.com/jbca.- Type of Publication:
