JOURNAL OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY
Scope & Guideline
Unlocking insights in the realm of risk.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Behavioral Analysis of Risk Preferences:
The journal emphasizes understanding how individuals perceive and respond to risk through behavioral experiments, exploring concepts like risk aversion, ambiguity aversion, and decision-making processes. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Risk:
Research published often integrates insights from economics, psychology, and health sciences, providing a comprehensive view of how risk and uncertainty affect human behavior in different contexts. - Impact of External Factors on Risk Behavior:
The journal frequently examines how external events, such as economic crises or health pandemics (e.g., COVID-19), influence individual and collective risk-taking behavior. - Quantitative and Qualitative Assessments:
It utilizes both quantitative methods, such as statistical analysis and modeling, as well as qualitative approaches, including surveys and experimental designs, to assess risk-related behaviors. - Policy Implications of Risk Research:
The journal aims to inform policy-making by analyzing how risk preferences affect decisions related to health, finance, and social issues, thereby contributing to effective risk management strategies.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Risk Preferences:
An increasing number of studies are examining how the COVID-19 pandemic has altered individual and societal risk preferences, highlighting the relevance of health crises on decision-making. - Exploration of Ambiguity Aversion:
There is a growing interest in ambiguity aversion, particularly in how it affects decision-making under uncertainty, with new experimental findings contributing to this theme. - Risk Behavior in Health Contexts:
Research focusing on health-related risk behaviors, such as vaccination uptake and health decision-making, is on the rise, reflecting a broader interest in public health implications. - Interdisciplinary Applications of Risk Research:
The journal is increasingly publishing studies that apply risk theories to diverse fields, including environmental economics, public policy, and behavioral finance, showcasing an interdisciplinary trend. - Technological Influences on Risk Behavior:
Emerging themes include the impact of technology and digital platforms on risk preferences, especially in areas like online gambling and health-related decision-making.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Models of Risk:
There has been a noticeable decline in research focused solely on classical economic models of risk (e.g., expected utility theory), as newer behavioral models gain traction. - Static Risk Assessment:
Studies centered around static risk assessments, which do not account for evolving preferences or contextual factors, have become less prominent, indicating a shift towards dynamic and context-sensitive approaches. - Simple Risk Preference Elicitation Techniques:
There is a waning interest in basic elicitation techniques for measuring risk preferences, with more complex and nuanced methods being favored in recent studies. - Focus on Individual Risk Preferences:
Research concentrating exclusively on individual-level risk preferences is decreasing, as there is a growing emphasis on social and contextual influences on risk behavior. - Historical Analysis of Risk Behavior:
Papers that primarily analyze historical trends in risk behavior without contemporary relevance are becoming less frequent, reflecting a demand for more timely and applicable research.
