Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects.

Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy's structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution.

Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology, finance, marketing, political science, and mathematics is particularly welcome.

The journal is eclectic as to research method; systematic observation and careful description, simulation modeling and mathematical analysis are all within its purview.

Empirical work, including controlled laboratory experimentation that probes close to the core of the issues in theoretical dispute is encouraged.
