We are excited to announce the call for chapter contributions to the highly anticipated ‘Business under Uncertainty – Through the Lens of Behavioural Economics.’ This comprehensive book, part of Oeconomica Collection published by ASERS Publishing, aims to explore diverse perspectives, insights, and research on various aspects of Behavioural Economics and Applied Statistics in Social Sciences, presenting a holistic understanding of the paradigms, applications, politics and limitations.

We invite interested authors and experts in Economics, Behavioural Economics, and Applied Statistics to contribute their valuable insights to this groundbreaking publication. This is an excellent opportunity to share your research, contribute to the academic discourse, and make a lasting impact in the field.

The rise of behavioural approaches in economics has been one of most significant developments in the study of economic decision-making in recent years. The increasingly acknowledged failings of standard models of choice to explain economic decisions has prompted economists to incorporate into their analysis psychological insights into individual behaviour, such as social cognitive and emotional biases. This book introduces the topic of behavioural economics to a beginning readership, explaining its approach and methodology and assessing its successes and weaknesses.

The book aims to explore how Behavioural Economics has advanced our understanding of human preferences including notions of fairness, reciprocity and inequality aversion, and the mental processes involved in decision making, which vary with the complexity of the decision and the ability of the decision-maker to process the information. The decision-making of individuals within social and economic groups is explored, including financial practitioners and what this can mean for financial markets. Finally, the book looks at the ways in which findings from behavioural economics have been used to alter the decisions people make, such as the nudge approach, and the ethics of such persuasion.

In the same time, the book aims to be a comprehensive statistics book providing extensive, yet highly accessible, coverage of important issues in fundamental research design and statistical analysis and newer recommendations in how to conduct statistical analysis and report results ethically

The Editors focus on practical applications of the concepts, rather than typical ‘textbook’ applications, in a friendly and uncomplicated way with friendly text and plenty of helpful diagrams and tables.. The focus on meaning rather than the mechanics of computation is also a strength.”

What’s the Aim?
The book editors aim to bring together a set of high-quality chapters that present cutting edge empirical research, new conceptualizations, and evidence-based and innovative approaches and viewpoints of Behavioural Economics and Applied Statistics in Social Sciences in a risky business environment. Thus, the book editors invite chapter manuscripts that present:
 conceptual contributions;
 empirical scholarly contributions;
 contributions presenting the views of practioners.

Topics of Interest that we hope this book will explore, include, but are not limited to: Behavioural Economics; Behavioural Labour Economics; Behavioural microfoundations; Behavioural Public Policy; Culture and Ethics; Health Behaviours; Neuroeconomics; Applied Statistics in Social Sciences; Statistical Methods for Psychology; Descriptive Statistics for Psychological Research; Psychological Methods and Statistics; Behavioural Sciences; Risk Analyse and Business.

Our expectations:
We seek both theoretical and empirical chapters that tackle the issues of Behavioural Economics and Applied Statistics in Social Sciences by addressing one or more of the above-mentioned topics of interest.
The text will be made up of about ten chapters submitted by different authors, and organized by the editor.
Each chapter should contain an original analysis. We expect a critical analysis and the consideration of the different points of view within the area should be addressed.
Authors will be expected to work in close collaboration with the editors to ensure the above-mentioned expectations are met. Additionally, all authors will be expected to review at least one of the other accepted chapters.

Submission Guidelines:
Please send us an abstract of your proposed chapter, not exceeding 500 words, on or before the 30th of May, 2024.
Proposals will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis, so early submissions are encouraged.

Aims and Scope
This series is a forum for innovative scholarly writing from across all substantive fields of Economics. The series aims to enrich the study of the discipline by promoting a cutting-edge approach to economic thought and analysis. Academic scrutiny and challenge is an essential component in the development of economics as a field of study, and the act of rethinking and re-examining principles and precepts that may have been long-held is imperative.
Rethinking Economics showcases authored books that address the field from a new angle, expose the weaknesses of existing concepts and arguments, or ‘reframe’ the topic in some way. This might be through the introduction of radical ideas, through the integration of perspectives from other fields or even disciplines, through challenging existing paradigms, or simply through a level of analysis that elevates or sharpens our understanding of a subject.
The main topics of Oeconomica Collection include a broad range of topics such as:
General Economics and Teaching; History of Economic Thought, Methodology, and Heterodox Approaches; Mathematical and Quantitative Methods; Microeconomics; Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics; International Economics; Financial Economics; Public Economics; Health, Education, and Welfare; Labor and Demographic Economics; Law and Economics; Industrial Organization; Business Administration and Business Economics – Marketing, Accounting, Personnel Economics; Economic History; Economic Development, Innovation, Technological Change, and Growth; Political Economy and Comparative Economic Systems; Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics - Environmental and Ecological Economics; Urban, Rural, Regional, Real Estate, and Transportation Economics
