Now Publishers has announced the launch of a new journal – Review of Behavioral Economics (RoBE). RoBE is the latest addition to Now Publishers growing portfolio of journals. Dr. Barkley Rosser Jr. from James Madison University, USA, will serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
Published quarterly, the Review of Behavioral Economics encourages a transdisciplinary and pluralistic perspective in the tradition of the late Herbert A. Simon, long recognized as the founder of modern behavioural economics, for whom the concepts of bounded rationality and satisfying were based on psychological, cognitive, and computational limits of human knowledge and behaviour, the decision-making environment, and the evolutionary capabilities of the human being. ROBE sees behavioural economics embedded in a broader behavioural science that includes most of the social sciences, as well as aspects of the natural and mathematical sciences.
The journal is open to a variety of approaches and methods, both mainstream and non-orthodox, as well as theoretical, empirical, and narrative. While empirical work may rely on laboratory or field experiments, published data, case studies, surveys, or simulations, authors are encouraged to emphasise the strength and importance of relationships observed and statistically analyzed in their data. Discussion of policy implications of any findings is encouraged.
