Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics
Scope & Guideline
Pioneering Studies in Behavioral Dynamics
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Behavioral Economics and Finance:
The journal explores how psychological factors influence economic decisions, such as investment behaviors, risk preferences, and market anomalies. It emphasizes the role of bounded rationality and emotional biases in financial markets. - Public Policy and Social Preferences:
Research in this area investigates the implications of behavioral insights for public policy, including taxation, welfare, and environmental policy. It often examines how social norms and preferences shape public goods provision and collective actions. - Experimental Methodologies:
The journal prioritizes studies employing experimental methods, including laboratory and field experiments, to assess decision-making processes in real-world scenarios. This emphasis on empirical evidence distinguishes its contributions to economic theory. - Consumer Behavior and Marketing:
Papers frequently address consumer decision-making, including the impact of nudges, framing effects, and social influences on purchasing behavior. The journal seeks to bridge the gap between economic theory and practical marketing strategies. - Cultural and Social Influences:
Research often considers how cultural contexts and social structures influence economic behaviors. This includes studies on gender differences, religious influences, and the impact of identity on economic decisions. - Risk and Uncertainty:
The journal investigates how individuals perceive and respond to risk and uncertainty in various contexts, including health, finance, and environmental issues. This includes exploring concepts like loss aversion and ambiguity aversion.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Behavior and Technology:
There is a growing emphasis on how digital environments and technology influence economic decision-making. Research explores topics such as online consumer behavior, algorithmic trading, and the impact of artificial intelligence on financial markets. - Health Economics and Behavioral Insights:
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated interest in health-related economic behaviors. Studies focus on vaccination behaviors, health compliance, and the psychological factors driving health-related decisions. - Sustainability and Environmental Economics:
An increasing number of papers examine consumer behavior related to sustainability, climate change, and environmental policies. This trend reflects a broader societal focus on ecological issues and the behavioral changes necessary to address them. - Social Justice and Inequality:
Emerging themes in social preferences and attitudes towards redistribution highlight a growing interest in economic inequality and its behavioral implications. Research often focuses on how perceptions of fairness influence support for social policies. - Behavioral Interventions and Nudging:
The application of nudging techniques to influence behavior in various domains, including finance, health, and environmental conservation, has gained traction. This reflects a broader interest in practical applications of behavioral economics to drive positive social change. - Cultural Influences on Economic Behavior:
Research increasingly examines how cultural contexts shape economic behaviors, with studies focusing on cross-cultural comparisons and the impact of social identity on decision-making processes.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Models:
Research relying solely on classical economic models without incorporating behavioral insights has become less frequent. The shift towards a more integrated approach that combines behavioral elements with traditional economic theories is evident. - Purely Theoretical Papers:
There is a noticeable decline in submissions that focus exclusively on theoretical frameworks without empirical validation. The journal's emphasis on experimental evidence has led to a preference for studies that can demonstrate practical applications. - Generalized Risk Aversion Studies:
While risk aversion remains a relevant topic, studies that merely replicate previous findings without introducing new insights or methodologies are being published less frequently. Researchers are encouraged to explore more nuanced aspects of risk behavior. - Overly Simplistic Explanations of Behavior:
Papers that offer simplistic or monolithic explanations for complex behavioral phenomena are waning. The journal increasingly favors multifaceted approaches that consider a variety of influencing factors.
