Fellows Martijn van den Assem and Remco Zwinkels appointed Associate Editor JEBO
TI fellows Martijn van den Assem and Remco Zwinkels have been appointed as associate editor of the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization (JEBO).
The appointment builds on a special JEBO issue on Empirical Behavioral Finance, that featured Van den Assem and Zwinkels as guest editors in cooperation with Doron Kliger (Haifa). This issue will be published next month (JEBO, Volume 108, December 2014). The introduction includes the results of a survey among reviewers and authors into the relative importance of different types of research within the theme of empirical behavioral finance. Among other things, the authors found strong evidence that such experts relied on the diversification heuristic when they filled in the questionnaire.
Both fellows are affiliated as associate professors with the finance department of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at VU Amsterdam.
The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. JEBO’s specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies.
