Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing rigorous, innovative, and policy-relevant research that explores how psychological, cognitive, emotional, social, and cultural factors influence economic decision-making at individual, institutional, and systemic levels. The journal welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions that apply experimental and behavioral methodologies to a broad spectrum of economic issues, including market behavior, public policy, development economics, and financial decision-making.

This journal provides a vibrant platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners seeking to deepen our understanding of human behavior in economic contexts and to inform the design of policies and interventions grounded in behavioral insights. Contributions from interdisciplinary research drawing from economics, psychology, neuroscience, public policy, and sociology are strongly encouraged.

Manuscripts should ideally be between 6,000 to 8,000 words, with a clear abstract not exceeding 200 words. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process, and the journal maintains a strict zero-plagiarism policy. Authors are expected to submit a plagiarism report along with their manuscript. The journal endeavors to maintain a review timeline of no more than two months, supporting rapid dissemination of research to academic, policy, and applied audiences.

The STRATI Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics aims to advance theoretical frameworks and empirical knowledge of how real-world economic agents—individuals, households, firms, governments—behave and make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, risk, incentives, and bounded rationality. The journal seeks to enrich mainstream economic analysis by incorporating insights from behavioral science and experimental methods to understand deviations from standard economic assumptions such as rationality, perfect information, and utility maximization.

This journal provides a bridge between experimental and behavioral research and the formulation of practical policies, particularly in domains such as public finance, taxation, savings behavior, environmental regulation, social protection, digital economies, and health interventions. The journal also promotes the application of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), field experiments, laboratory experiments, and natural experiments to inform policy and institutional design.

It caters to academics, experimental economists, policymakers, development agencies, NGOs, and private sector institutions interested in behaviorally informed approaches to economic analysis and problem-solving.
