Compared to other journals in economics, the focus of this journal is more normative than positive and the viewpoint is focused on managerial efficiency rather than on social welfare. Managerial and Decision Economics has 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. Managerial and Decision Economics is currently published 8 times a year.

Abstract

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we all are susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself. Thaler and Sunstein invite us to enter an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. Using colorful examples from the most important aspects of life, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how thoughtful & choice architecture& can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice. 'Nudge' offers a unique new take& from neither the left nor the right& on many hot-button issues, for individuals and governments alike. This is one of the most engaging and provocative books to come along in many years.
