The Review
is issued by the Japan Association for Evolutionary Economics to provide an
international forum for new theoretical and empirical approaches to
evolutionary and institutional economics. The Review, free from the view
of equilibrium economics and methodological individualism, should face the
diversity of human behavior and dynamic transformation of institutions. In the Review,
'economics' is used in its broadest sense. It covers from the classic research
in economic history, economic thought, economic theory, and management science
to emerging research fields such as economic sociology, bio-economics,
evolutionary game theory, agent-based modeling, complex systems study, econo-physics, experimental economics, and so on. The Review
believes that a truly interdisciplinary discussion is needed to propel the
investigation in the dynamic process of socio-economical change where
institutions as emergent outcomes of human actions do matter. The focus areas of the Review (not
exhaustive): foundations of
institutional and evolutionary economics; criticism of mainstream views in the
social sciences; knowledge and learning in socio-economic life; development and
innovation of technologies; transformation of industrial organizations and
economic systems; experimental studies in economics; agent-based modeling of
socio-economic systems; evolution of the governance structure of firms and
other organizations; comparison of dynamically changing institutions of the
world; and policy proposals in the transformational process of economic life.

The International Review of Applied
Economics is devoted to the practical applications of economic ideas. Applied economics is widely interpreted to
embrace empirical work and the application of economics to the evaluation and
development of economic policies. The interaction
between empirical work and economic policy is an important feature of the
journal. The journal is international in
scope. Articles that draw lessons from
the experience of one country for the benefit of others, or that seek to make
cross-country comparisons are particularly welcomed. Contributions which discuss policy issues
from theoretical positions neglected in other journals are also
encouraged. Although the International
Review of Applied Economics associates itself with the non-neo-classical
tradition, it does not identify itself with any specific theoretical or political
position.

INTERVENTION sees itself as a forum for heterodox approaches—heterodox in the sense of a demarcation from the prevailing mainstream in economics. The aims of such a forum are mutual exchange and the discussion of different perspectives from different economic schools. The journal therefore is not committed to a single paradigm; editors, scientific board and authors rather share a critical position towards the current mainstream

Post-Autistic Economics Review
The Post-Autistic Economics Review is an email-delivered economics journal working against economics’ “uncontrolled use” and treatment of mathematics as “an end in itself”, and the resulting “autistic science”, the repressive domination of neoclassical theory and derivative approaches in the curriculum, and the dogmatic teaching style, which leaves no place for critical and reflective thought. PAER favors engagement with empirical and concrete economic realities, prioritizing science over scientism, a pluralism of approaches adapted to the complexity of economic objects and to the uncertainty surrounding most of the big economics questions, and initiating reforms to rescue economics from its autistic and socially irresponsible state.

Mathematical and Quantitative Methods
Microeconomics
The Journal of Economic Psychology aims
to present research that will improve understanding of behavioral, especially
socio-psychological, aspects of economic phenomena and processes. The Journal seeks to be a channel for
the increased interest in using behavioral science methods for the study of
economic behavior, and so to contribute to better solutions of societal
problems, by stimulating new approaches and new theorizing about economic
affairs. Economic psychology as a
discipline studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie consumption and
other economic behavior. It deals with
preferences, choices, decisions, and factors influencing these, as well as the
consequences of decisions and choices with respect to the satisfaction of
needs. This includes the impact of
external economic phenomena upon human behavior and well-being. Studies in economic psychology may relate to
different levels of aggregation, from the household and the individual consumer
to the macro level of whole nations.
Economic behavior in connection with inflation, unemployment, taxation,
economic development, as well as consumer information and economic behavior in
the market place are thus the major fields of interest. The Journal is published under the
auspices of the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology.

The journal is concered with extending and integrating the study and management of ‘nature’s household’ (ecology) with ‘humankind’s household’ (ecoomics).

The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open. Specific research areas covered include : valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmenttal policies, and case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony. It is the transdiciplinary journal of the International Society for Ecological Economics.
