About the series
The Department of Geography and Environment launched a new discussion paper series in June 2020, publishing high quality research from scholars across ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳.
Discussion papers feature drafts of departmental research prior to publication as journal articles or book chapters, as well as timely contributions to ongoing policy debates.
In addition to contributions from ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ staff and research students in the department, the series hosts occasional invited contributions from distinguished scholars from around the world.
All discussion papers appear on and are indexed by REPEC.
Papers are associated with one, or more, of our departmental research clusters and are themed accordingly:
- Papers in Economic Geography and Spatial Economics
- Papers in Urbanisation, Planning and Development
- Papers in Environmental Economics and Policy
How do I submit?
ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ staff and research students interested in submitting to the series should refer to the Style Guide.
