History and ownership
The Foundation was established in 1972 to give legal status to the ERAE and to raise funds for establishing the Review. The first issue of the ERAE was published in the spring of 1973 with the Dutch firm Mouton as publisher. Sicco Mansholt (former Commissioner of Agriculture and Temporary President of the European Commission) wrote the first article, entitled ‘How can agricultural economists help to solve Europe’s agricultural problems?’.
During the 1980s, Mouton merged with the Berlin-based publishing firm Walter de Gruyter. In 1999 publication shifted to Oxford University Press (OUP). The Foundation ERAE is the owner of and has the exclusive right to publish the European Review of Agricultural Economics. The copyright in the Material published in the ERAE shall be licensed by its authors jointly to the Publisher and the Foundation in equal shares as tenants in common.
