This special issue seeks research exploring how consumers can make wiser choices and how innovation can better serve consumer and societal flourishing. The focus encompasses understanding consumer wisdom—the capacity for informed, ethical, and sustainable decision-making—alongside innovations designed to promote wellbeing rather than merely maximize consumption. The work also addresses how public policy can create environments that support these goals.

The special issue welcomes research from marketing, economics, public policy, behavioral science, and related disciplines that examines the interconnections between consumer behavior, innovation strategies, and policy frameworks. Submissions may explore mechanisms for improving consumer decision-making, designing responsible innovation, and implementing policies that advance both individual and collective flourishing.

This special issue focuses on Behavioural Environmental Economics & Policy (BEEP), which examines how departures from rational choice assumptions—such as bounded rationality and bounded willpower—affect environmental decision-making and policy effectiveness. The issue seeks to consolidate evidence on how behavioural insights can improve the design and evaluation of environmental policies to address urgent challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

The special issue welcomes conceptual, empirical, and policy-oriented contributions applying behavioural insights to environmental problems. Submissions may employ various methodologies including experiments, quasi-experimental designs, and literature reviews. The issue particularly values work that identifies both market and behavioural failures, designs and tests policies combining traditional instruments with behavioural tools, and evaluates their effectiveness and welfare impacts.

This is an invitation-only special issue in Environmental and Resource Economics.

Potential topics

• Interactions between market failures and behavioural failures in environmental settings
• Policy design that combines prices/standards with behavioural tools (defaults, salience/framing, simplification, commitment)
• Welfare analysis (including psychological costs), ethics, and paternalism in environmental policy
• Empirical identification of behavioural mechanisms; field/lab/quasi-experimental evidence
• Heterogeneity, equity, and distributional consequences of behavioural environmental policies
• Replication, meta-analysis, and open-science practices in this domain
• Choice architecture and environmental outcomes

This special issue honors the contributions of Reinhard Selten to the fields of bounded rationality, behavioral economics, and game theory. The issue invites submissions that advance our understanding of how cognitive limitations and bounded rationality shape economic behavior and decision-making.

Contributions are welcome that explore the theoretical foundations and empirical applications of bounded rationality in various economic contexts, including but not limited to individual choice, strategic interaction, market behavior, and organizational decision-making.

This special issue examines how decision-making processes, choice behavior, and reasoning capabilities evolve from childhood through adulthood. Understanding the developmental trajectory of these fundamental cognitive and behavioral processes provides insight into the mechanisms that underlie human judgment and decision-making across the lifespan.

The collection seeks to integrate perspectives from developmental psychology, behavioral economics, cognitive science, and neuroscience to explore how individuals acquire, refine, and modify their decision-making strategies as they mature. Contributions may address the biological, cognitive, social, and environmental factors that shape the development of choice behavior and reasoning abilities.

Empirical studies, theoretical frameworks, and methodological approaches that advance our understanding of developmental decision-making are welcome. This includes research examining both normative development and individual variation in how people learn to make choices and engage in reasoning from early childhood through adulthood.

• The impact of education and experience on choice behavior
• Temporal and risk preferences across development
• Social influences on reasoning and decision-making
• Irrational choice patterns and their developmental origins

Supply chain risk management traditionally assumes decision-makers are rational and risk-neutral, but practitioners operate under bounded rationality and cognitive biases, deviating from optimal choices when facing uncertainty. These behavioral deviations affect risk identification, assessment, and mitigation, yet existing theories fail to account for them, resulting in suboptimal strategies and reduced organizational efficiency.

Current behavioral SCRM research focuses primarily on individual factors with limited exploration of how organizational and inter-organizational contexts shape behavior. This special issue examines behavioral issues across multiple analytical levels: individuals, organizations, and supply chain networks. The editors seek research that identifies limitations in existing theories or introduces innovative frameworks addressing SCRM complexities through interdisciplinary perspectives from psychology, organizational studies, and decision-making research.
