The review process of the Review of Behavioral Economics is designed to provide authors with timely decisions. Submissions are initially reviewed in-house to filter out manuscripts that are inappropriate for various reasons such as excessive length, falling outside the scope of the journal, or generally lacking the requisite quality to warrant demands on referees' time. The remaining manuscripts are peer-reviewed under the supervision of the editors. The review process is double-blind. Referee reports are considered advisory but not definitive in the editors' decisions. Revise and resubmits are used sparingly.
If you want to submit an article, please submit at Manuscript Manager.
The Author(s) declares that the manuscript has not been previously published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its publication is approved by all co-authors, if any, and any other authorities at the corporation/institute/university where the work was done. Further, if accepted, the work will not be published elsewhere in similar form.
Authors of empirical papers may be asked to supply a replication data set for editors or referees. Upon acceptance of a manuscript, authors will be required to submit a replication dataset/archive prior to publication. The dataset, documentation, command files, etc. will be reviewed in-house and made available at this site coincident with publication. Online appendices, if any, will be handled similarly. Authors of theory papers may be asked to provide an appendix with supplementary proofs for editors or referees.
Accepted manuscripts will be copyedited and proofread, so it is not necessary to prepare camera-ready copy.
Please provide an abstract of not more than 150 words. The abstract will appear in various online and printed abstract journals.
An alphabetical list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. During production, we will use these references
to create links to the cited articles that are available on the Internet.

After a manuscript is accepted for publication, graphics for the final version must be submitted as separate files. When supplying color figures or halftones (photos), ensure that there is sufficient contrast to enable clear black and white printing. Use either Times New Roman or Arial typefaces on all figures. Do not put boxes around figures. Halftones should be supplied in 300 dpi resolution.

Authors of theory papers may provide an appendix with supplementary proofs. The online appendix and supplemental files are not copyedited and are posted directly on the website as supplementary information to the article. Authors are required to send the final version of their supplemental files when submitting the final manuscript.
