The AAEA Board seeks applicants to serve four year terms as Area Editors for the Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (JAAEA). They will join a diverse group of scholars who helped launch the JAAEA. Applications from Scholars across all fields of interest to the broad membership of AAEA are welcome.
Area Editors at the JAAEA are responsible for handling manuscripts in consultation with the Founding/Managing Editor. Manuscripts are assigned by the Founding/Managing Editor to Area Editors who are responsible for soliciting reviews and based on the reviews and their reading of the paper, making a recommendation to the Founding/Managing Editor. The workload for Area Editors involves handling 15-20 papers a year. Area Editors will also help with shortlisting papers for the journal's best paper award.
Applications should be sent electronically via PDF to Allison Ware, the Senior Communications & Membership Manager at aware@aaea.org by January 15, 2025. Nominations of potentially interested candidates who can then be solicited for their materials are also welcome. New Area Editors are expected to be in place by July 1, 2025.

“We could figure out very rich hourly information of where these farmworkers went and if they moved to another location. This is kind of the first application of this data to answer some important questions in agricultural economics... This kind of new data set that we made can be a valuable resource to answer other questions about farmworkers,”
Tim BeattyThe AAEA currently has five publications. The American Journal of Agricultural Economics (AJAE), Applied Economics Policy and Perspectives (AEPP), Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (JAAEA), Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR), and Choices. AAEA leadership, Board and Journal Editors, have not always done a great job in communicating the different goals and purposes of each journal and how these interact. With the help of a notes prepared by Amy Ando as Chair of a task force put together by Past-President Rudy Nayga, I thought I’d take a crack at explaining our journal portfolio. At the behest of the AAEA legal team[1], I’ll make clear that these represent my own views and should not be viewed as AAEA policy.
