Over the last two years aggregate economic growth in many South Asian countries has been badly hit, with COVID-19 exposing structural vulnerabilities and threatening to undo decades of progress in what was the fastest growing region in the world pre-pandemic. The unravelling of these economies has serious implications for rural livelihoods and food and nutrition security, raising key questions on the role of social protection and resilience of agri-food systems. This issue will focus on forward-looking policy-relevant applied work on these themes, outlining the impacts of the pandemic in the region and lessons learnt for similar shocks going forward. Call for Papers Applied Economics Perspectives and Policy - Deadline extended Call for Submissions: Submissions will be accepted for the special issue through Call for Papers Water Economics has been taught for many decades at undergraduate and graduate levels. Teaching approaches included the traditional profit/utility-maximizing agents' behavior (farmers, households) where individuals decide the allocation of a given amount of water among consuming activities. Main issues such as availability, allocation, pricing, investment, technology, and management of water resources have been at the forefront of the field of water economics. In recent decades, water resources worldwide have seen many transformations both locally and globally, making the challenges facing water-using agents much more complicated and, as a result, higher skills are needed for the tools and methods they employ. AETR General Call for Papers Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR) is putting out a general call for papers for innovations in teaching and Extension education. Over the past two years, higher education has a seen dramatic shifts in teaching and extension, which has resulted in significant innovations in instructional delivery, new methods, new pedagogy and innovations in how we teach and do Extension. AETR seeks manuscript submissions highlighting these innovations and new methods, content, and approaches. Manuscript submissions can include research articles, commentaries, methods and case studies. Please email abstracts of your submission idea to the editor at aetr.editor@gmail.com. The abstract should include a proposed title, up to 500 word abstract for the proposed manuscript, and list of authors. The editor will review abstracts, provide feedback and invite submissions for regular submissions, thematic sections and feature articles on this topic.
