About the Energy Journal
The Energy Journal is the flagship journal of the IAEE, and is widely recognized as one of the most selective, best regarded journals in the field. It was founded in 1980 to promote the advancement and dissemination of new knowledge concerning the economics of energy. Articles published in The Energy Journal provide rigorous and innovative analyses of interest to academics, energy industry professionals, civil servants and regulators, or the financial community.
Aim & Scope
At The Energy Journal we strive to publish a blend of theoretical, empirical and policy related papers in energy economics. Interdisciplinarity is welcome, but only as long as the central focus is the economics of energy. The following papers are generally not acceptable:
- on energy issues in which no economic implications are analysed;
- on environmental topics in which no energy issues are explicitly dealt with;
- on economic issues where energy plays just a minor part.
- on energy issues in which no economic implications are analysed;
- on environmental topics in which no energy issues are explicitly dealt with;

We publish
- Research Articles that deal with theoretical or applied problems of continuing interest in energy economics.
- An 'Energy Perspectives' section which contains refereed papers that review or analyse important current issues from a broader vantage point. Review papers are also considered. This section is by-invitation only, but you may submit ideas to the Editor-in-Chief (please check carefully the scope of the journal in this section first). The content should have sufficient breadth and depth to be a suitable Perspectives submission.
- A ‘Book Review’ section which examines books and topical government reports (national and international) on energy economics, energy policy and related areas.
Special Issues of the Energy Journal are by invitation only. The Editorial Board of The Energy Journal will propose Special Issues that will be assigned to Special Issue editors.
