Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the broad topic of “Firms' Behaviour, Productivity and Economics of Innovation” and includes research methods and techniques for modeling economic behavior, business modeling in general, evaluating the innovation process, productivity forecasts, and assessing the impact of risk on economic behavior and innovation.

The goal of this Special Issue is to promote new ideas, conceptual approaches, models, methods, as well as new quantitative tools in behavioral and financial economics, innovation management, the development of business models, and economic and financial modeling in general. Any new approaches that complement, expand, or clarify existing concepts and points of view in the framework of quantitative and conceptual analysis are encouraged.

Researchers and practitioners working on new ideas, models, and methods as well as those that have empirical reviews and research on the above topics are invited to submit their papers to this Special Issue.
