Games and Economic Behavior was organized to reinforce research efforts on Mathematical economics, Microeconomics, Nash equilibrium, Repeated game and Stochastic game. The work tackled in the journal goes beyond the discipline of Mathematical economics as it also encompasses Mathematical optimization. It tackles issues in Microeconomics, particularly in the topics of Common value auction, Incentive, Competition (economics), Outcome (game theory) and English auction.
Games and Economic Behavior connects the study in Common value auction with the closely related area of Bidding. English auction research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Vickrey auction and Auction theory. The study on Nash equilibrium presented in Games and Economic Behavior intersects with subjects under the field of Correlated equilibrium.
The field of Game theory is the anchor for the Repeated game studies presented in Games and Economic Behavior. Symmetric equilibrium is a primary topic of Equilibrium selection research in Games and Economic Behavior. It is mostly focused on Best response, specifically Risk dominance.
The journal publications are mainly concerned with subjects like Mathematical economics, Microeconomics, Nash equilibrium, Repeated game and Equilibrium selection. In the Mathematical economics research discussed in the published papers, Best response, Epsilon-equilibrium, Stochastic game, Correlated equilibrium and Game theory are all tackled. Most of the works presented in the most cited articles deal with Microeconomics but they intersect with the subject of Industrial organization.
Games and Economic Behavior mainly tackles studies in Mathematical economics, Microeconomics, Incentive, Stochastic game and Mathematical optimization. The featured Mathematical economics works encompass concepts such as Nash equilibrium and examines them in conjunction with Positive probability. The research on Microeconomics tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Value (economics), Legislature, Private information retrieval and Welfare.
The research on Incentive featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Social psychology and Agency (sociology). It facilitates discussions on Stochastic game that incorporate concepts from other fields like Principal (computer security) and Action (philosophy). It addresses concerns in Mathematical optimization which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Mechanism (sociology), Matching (statistics), Optimal mechanism, Common value auction and Outcome (game theory).
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Games and Economic Behavior (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Games and Economic Behavior (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 7.69% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.96% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.48% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.22% of all publications and 58.33% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
In spite of the profound studies and research highlighted in Games and Economic Behavior, some areas of potential exploration remain relatively untapped. One such area pertains to the application of economic game theory within the academic sphere, particularly in the field of accounting. Incorporating game theory into accounting curriculum can enrich students' understanding of strategic behavior in business and financial decision making. It can be interesting to delve into how games and economics behaviors, such as the principles of Nash equilibrium, common value auction, or symmetric equilibrium, can be applied in accounting to deal with issues of trust, incentive, and competition that are prevalent in business dealings. Furthermore, studies can be extended to assess the role of academic institutions such as universities in boosting students’ enrollment into programs that involve game theory concepts. For instance, evaluations could be carried out on the best accounting programs in Montana, assessing how principles of game theory and economic behavior are taught to equip students with relevant skills for the competitive finance and economics job market. Overall, these untapped areas present promising potential for future academic research, adding to the rich tapestry of knowledge in the Games and Economic Behavior journal.
