Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Behavioral business and behavioral financial economics play vital roles in many fields in business and finance. This Special Issue focuses on the behavioral business and behavioral financial economics with applications in the area of sustainability.
The scope of the Special issue includes all areas of behaviorial business, economics, and finance that aim to achieve sustainable business, environment, or economic growth. Using individual behavior is essential for developing new business and finance theories and for testing their validity through analyzing empirical real-world data. For example, behavioral business could help form effective business enterprises, international entrepreneurship, generic and competitive strategies, marketing strategies, new product development, etc., whereas behavioral financial economics could help to form effective monetary and fiscal policies and to develop pricing models for financial assets such as equities, bonds, currencies, and derivative securities.
This Special Issue aims to provide policy implications for managers, environmentalists, and government policymakers that could be used for sustainable business development, sustainable environment management, and sustainable economic growth.
This Special Issue aims to consider, but not limited to, the following topics as research issues:
(1) modelling domestic and international carbon emissions prices to ensure environmental sustainability, (2) multivariate modelling of financial returns and volatility of energy and natural resources, (3) use of renewable and non-renewable energy and non-energy sources for sustainable growth and economic development, (4) analyzing behavioral aspects of consumers for green growth and the awareness about the environment and the role they play in reducing environmental degradation, (5) impacts on the environment and sustainability of pricing carbon emissions, and (6) impacts on health and agriculture sector of unsustainable environment.
