The scope of the International Journal of Applied Behavioral Economics (IJABE)encompasses how preferences, attitudes, and behavioral issues influence economic agents involved in business and organizations. Special attention is given to the impact of technology on businesses and organizations from a behavioral point of view. An interdisciplinary approach is required, as economics, psychology, sociology, information science, and anthropology are domains that contribute to understanding complex economic behavior, its triggers, and its practical implications. The journal also encourages academic research papers that focus on practice, reflective papers from practitioners, and case studies. Both quantitative and qualitative research papers are welcome, as is research that uses innovative methodologies to explore new insights into the field and theory.

The mission of the International Journal of Applied Behavioral Economics is to examine the main applications of behavioral economics in businesses and organizations, both in classical terms and as influenced by digitalization and new technologies. Behavioral economics is based on research demonstrating how human boundary rationality and failures in acting in "self"—interest, loss aversion, and so on—influence economic choices and decisions. Despite the importance of an interdisciplinary perspective, the practical applications of this research are not well represented. The journal promotes papers that show a direct link between behavioral economics and concrete, practical applications at a business and organizational level, with a special focus on the effects of technology implementation and usage on economic agents’ perceptions, behaviors, and decision-making processes. For this purpose, the journal serves as a distribution channel for research that contributes to theory and practice development in this knowledge domain.
