Research on how organizational structures, cultures, and practices influence economic behaviors and outcomes, including topics like leadership, teamwork, and institutional dynamics. - Experimental Economics:
A significant focus on experimental methods to investigate economic behavior, allowing researchers to test theories and hypotheses in controlled settings. - Public Policy and Social Issues:
Studies that assess the impact of economic decisions and policies on social issues such as inequality, health, and education, often using empirical data from real-world scenarios. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Encouragement of interdisciplinary research that integrates insights from psychology, sociology, political science, and economics to address complex economic behaviors and organizational phenomena.
Trending and Emerging

An increasing number of studies focus on how social media influences economic behaviors, such as consumer choices and investment decisions, reflecting the growing intersection of technology and economics. - Climate Change and Economic Decision-Making:
Research addressing the economic implications of climate change, including behavioral responses to environmental policies and the economic impacts of sustainability initiatives. - Health Economics and Behavioral Insights:
A surge in studies that explore the intersection of health and economics, particularly in the context of public health crises like COVID-19 and how health behaviors are influenced by economic incentives. - Diversity and Inclusion in Economic Contexts:
Emerging research emphasizing the impact of diversity and inclusion on economic outcomes, organizational behavior, and social equity, reflecting broader societal discussions on these issues. - Data Science and Behavioral Analysis:
The integration of big data analytics and machine learning techniques in understanding economic behavior is on the rise, showcasing a trend towards data-driven insights in economic research.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Models:
There appears to be a waning interest in purely traditional economic models that do not incorporate behavioral insights. Researchers are increasingly focusing on models that integrate psychological and social factors. - Overly Narrow Focus on Rationality:
The decline of papers that emphasize strict rationality assumptions in economic behavior, as the field moves towards more nuanced understandings of human behavior that account for irrationalities and biases. - Purely Theoretical Research:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the publication of purely theoretical papers without empirical validation, as the journal increasingly favors studies that incorporate experimental or real-world data. - Market Efficiency Hypothesis:
Research focusing solely on the market efficiency hypothesis seems to be less prevalent, possibly as scholars explore more complex dynamics of market behavior influenced by psychology and social factors.
