B E Journal of Theoretical Economics
Scope & Guideline
Connecting scholars through rigorous theoretical exploration.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Game Theory Applications:
The journal extensively explores applications of game theory in various economic scenarios, including oligopoly dynamics, collusion, and strategic interactions among agents. This focus facilitates a deeper understanding of competitive behaviors and market structures. - Market Structures and Dynamics:
Research frequently investigates different market structures, including monopolies, oligopolies, and competitive markets, analyzing how these structures impact pricing, product differentiation, and consumer behavior. - Information Economics:
A significant area of focus is the role of information in economic decision-making, including issues of asymmetric information, advertising, and disclosure practices. This theme is critical for understanding how information affects market outcomes. - Behavioral Economics:
The journal incorporates insights from behavioral economics, examining how psychological factors influence economic decisions, preferences, and market interactions. This includes research on commitment issues and preference alignment. - Environmental Economics and Corporate Responsibility:
Emerging literature within the journal addresses the intersection of economics and environmental issues, focusing on corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and the strategic adoption of environmentally friendly practices.
Trending and Emerging
- Network Effects and Strategic Interactions:
An increasing number of papers focus on network effects and their implications for market behavior and corporate strategies. This trend highlights the importance of interconnectedness in modern economies, particularly in digital markets. - Dynamic Decision-Making Models:
There is a notable trend towards dynamic modeling approaches that consider time-inconsistent preferences and adaptive strategies. This reflects a broader acknowledgment of how time and uncertainty shape economic decisions. - Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental Economics:
Research related to CSR and environmental policies is gaining traction, underscoring the significance of sustainable practices in economic theories. This trend aligns with global priorities on sustainability and corporate accountability. - Behavioral Insights in Economic Theory:
The integration of behavioral insights into economic models is becoming more prevalent, with studies examining how psychological factors influence economic decisions. This trend enhances traditional economic theories by incorporating human behavior.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Models:
There appears to be a reduced emphasis on classical economic models that do not incorporate contemporary complexities such as behavioral factors or network effects. This shift indicates a growing preference for models that address real-world intricacies. - Simple Market Interactions:
Research focusing solely on simple market interactions without considering strategic behaviors or information asymmetries has become less frequent. The trend suggests a movement towards more nuanced analyses that incorporate strategic decision-making. - Static Equilibrium Analysis:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies centered around static equilibrium analyses, as the journal increasingly favors dynamic models that account for changing preferences and evolving market conditions.
