The journal covers theoretical and empirical research on the psychological, cognitive, social, and institutional factors that shape economic decision-making. Its scope includes behavioral labor economics, behavioral microfoundations, behavioral public policy, culture and ethics, health behaviors, and neuroeconomics. Research topics may include cognitive biases, bounded rationality, behavioral finance, game theory, decision-making under risk and ambiguity, incentives, cooperation, social preferences, identity, cultural influences, consumer choices, labor markets, and policy design. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary studies using experiments, surveys, econometric methods, field data, theoretical models, and computational approaches.
The objectives of Frontiers in Behavioral Economics are to advance scientific understanding of human decision-making, investigate how cognitive biases and psychological mechanisms influence economic behavior, promote rigorous theoretical and empirical research, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between economics and related disciplines, improve the application of behavioral evidence to public policy and organizational decision-making, and support research addressing economic welfare, health, inequality, and social outcomes.
