Managerial and Decision Economics

The Official Publication of the Association of Managerial Economists

Aims and Scope

Managerial and Decision Economics publishes articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy. Compared to other journals in economics, the focus of this journal is more normative than positive and the viewpoint is focused on managerial efficiency and firm profitability rather than on social welfare. Articles are welcomed from economists, strategists, and others using economic reasoning in analyzing business problems. The journal is open to a variety of economic theoretical perspectives, including transaction cost theory, evolutionary theory, resource-based theory, agency theory, game theory, and behavioral decision theory. The journal publishes articles from all of the functional areas of economics, as long as these articles are useful for managerial decision- making, and from all the functional areas of business, so long as the articles use economic reasoning.
The journal particularly welcomes articles with an international focus, or articles that analyze issues and markets from a non-American perspective. Issues pertaining to global strategy and the management of a multinational enterprise are of interest.
