    • Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics

      • ISSN: 2214-8043
      formerly the Journal of Socio-EconomicsThe Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics welcomes submissions that deal with various economic topics but also involve issues that are related to other social sciences, especially psychology, or use experimental methods of inquiry. Thus, contributions in behavioral economics, experimental economics, economic psychology, and judgment and decision making are especially welcome. The journal is open to different research methodologies, as long as they are relevant to the topic and employed rigorously. Possible methodologies include, for example, experiments, surveys, empirical work, theoretical models, meta-analyses, case studies, and simulation-based analyses. Literature reviews that integrate findings from many studies are also welcome, but they should synthesize the literature in a useful manner and provide substantial contribution beyond what the reader could get by simply reading the abstracts of the cited papers. In empirical work, it is important that the results are not only statistically significant but also economically significant. A high contribution-to-leng... ratio is expected from published articles and therefore papers should not be unnecessarily long, and short articles are welcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is intelligible to our generalist readership. Book reviews are generally solicited but occasionally unsolicited reviews will also be published. Contact the Book Review Editor for related inquiries.

    • Journal of Mathematical Economics

      • ISSN: 0304-4068
      In the Editor's view, the formal mathematical expression of economic ideas is of vital importance to economics. Such expression can determine whether a loose economic intuition has a coherent, logical meaning. Also, a full formal development of economic ideas can itself suggest new economic concepts and intuitions.The primary objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for work in economic theory which expresses economic ideas using formal mathematical reasoning. For work to add to this primary objective, it is not sufficient that the mathematical reasoning be new and correct. The work must have real economic content. The economic ideas must be interesting and important. These ideas may pertain to any field of economics or any school of economic thought.
    • Journal of Economic Psychology

      • ISSN: 0167-4870
      Research in Economic Psychology and Behavioral EconomicsAffiliated with the International Association for Research in Economic PsychologyThe Journal aims to present research that will improve understanding of behavioral, in particular psychological, aspects of economic decisions and processes. It is published under the auspices of the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology whose aim is to promote interdisciplinary work relating to economic behavior. Authors should ensure that their paper adheres to the detailed JOEP Policies and Guidelines set forth by the Editors prior to submission. The Journal seeks to be a channel for the increased interest in using behavioral science methods for the study of economic behavior, and so to contribute to better solutions of societal problems, by stimulating new approaches and new theorizing about economic affairs. Economic psychology as a discipline studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie economic behavior. It deals with decisions (individual or interactive), preferences, judgments, and factors influencing these, as well as the consequences of judgments and decisions for economics and society. Studies in economic psychology usually relate to the individual decision maker's level, though sometimes also address household or group behavior.Historicall... economic psychology has developed as a branch of psychology, while behavioral economics has risen as a sub-field of economics. Consequentially, for example, rationality assumptions have been traditionally avoided in economic psychology. Lately, however these differences are disappearing. We welcome any behavioral economics study to the journal of economic psychology. We also explicitly welcome studies in related domains including neuroeconomics, consumer psychology, voter psychology, and behavioral game theory, as long as they make a strong contribution to the understanding of psychological processes implicated in economic behavior and decisions.Additional... we welcome submissions from traditional areas of economic psychology, including psychological aspects associated with inflation, unemployment, poverty, taxation, economic development, economic literacy, personal finance, and market behavior.The Journal of Economic Psychology contains: (a) Research articles: novel reports of empirical (field or experimental) research with a significant contribution to relevant theory; (b) brief reports: Empirical contributions (e.g., robustness tests), re-examinations and re-analyses, as well as short formal-analytical contributions linked to well-established empirical phenomena; (c) replication studies and (d) extensive reviews of state of the art topics in economic psychology.Special issues of the Journal may be devoted to themes of particular interest. Typically, an open call for proposals for a special issue is announced once per year.

Please refer to the descriptions below to identify the most appropriate Office and to identify the types of paper that they will consider:Medical Anthropology (Senior Editor, Alex Brewis)Topics: The Medical Anthropology office welcomes papers related to the cultural, structural, linguistic, ecological, biocultural, evolutionary, ethical, or pedagogical contexts of health and (health care) wellbeing in a complex and globalized world.Methods:The Medical Anthropology office prioritizes theoretically-situat... submissions using qualitative, quantitative, mixed, applied, and/or coproduced methodologies.Outsid... of scope:n/aHealth Economics (Senior Co-Editors Joanna Coast & Richard Smith)Topics: The Health Economics office welcomes papers concentrating on the allocation of scarce resources in relation to health and health care, including primary, secondary, tertiary and community health and care systems, as well as papers that focus on economic aspects of public health. Methods: The Health Economics office will consider empirical papers using quantitative or qualitative methods, or a mix of the two, alongside economic or other theory relevant to resource allocation. Innovative methodological or theoretical papers must be clearly focused across both health and healthcare and economics.Outside of scope:Papers using econometric methods to explore questions unrelated to resource allocation and health or ‘data mining’, and those with a narrow domestic or clinical focus are not considered suitable for the health economics office.Social Epidemiology (Senior Co-Editors Arjumand Siddiqi & Jackie Hughto)Topics: The Social Epidemiology office welcomes papers related to the social distributions and determinants of health, particularly those that engage richly with social conditions and processes in relation to health and, particularly those that center population-level inferences.Methods: The Social Epidemiology office will consider primarily quantitative and mixed-methods research. Qualitative methods will occasionally be considered if they engage with population-level inferences. We are interested in the use of social science methodologies to understand social conditions and social processes linked to health outcomes.
