Special issue information:

We are delighted to announce a special issue in honor of Colin F. Camerer to commemorate his groundbreaking contributions to behavioral economics and his central role in establishing the field of neuroeconomics.

Colin Camerer is a pioneering economist whose research challenges assumptions about human behavior in conventional economic models using a combination of rigorous economic theory and creative experiments to better predict behavior. Camerer’s seminal studies provide strong evidence of the inconsistencies between classical economic principles of rationality and observed choices and behavior of real people, leading to path-breaking insights that have improved theory using empirical insights.

Camerer was an architect of behavioral game theory, which relies on experimental science to model human decision making in strategic and competitive situations such as bargaining, signaling, and intentional misleading. In this work, Camerer has combined rigorous behavioral modeling with neurophysiological responses to analyze the choice process during economic interactions.

Camerer also played a founding role in the field of neuroeconomics. He introduced neuroscience techniques to economists and pioneered the use of neuroimaging to strategic behavior, risk preferences, ambiguity preferences, social preferences, incentive effects, and curiosity. Camerer’s work in neuroeconomics has established foundational knowledge about the neural mechanisms underlying economic behavior.

To honor his contributions, we invite manuscripts in behavioral economics, experimental economics, and neuroeconomics, especially those with a focus on topics that have exemplified Colin Camerer's remarkable contributions to the field. These include behavioral game theory, organizational economics, choice-process data (eye-tracking, mouselab, affective and arousal responses, etc.), biases and market behavior, optimal experimental design, replications/meta-analyses, and neuroimaging.
