Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Behavioural finance has transformed our understanding of how financial decisions are made by investors, firms, and policymakers. Departing from the traditional assumption of fully rational agents, behavioural finance highlights the role of psychological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors in shaping financial choices and market outcomes. These elements can generate persistent anomalies, mispricing, and dynamics such as bubbles, crashes, herding, and contagion that standard models often struggle to explain. Furthermore, rapid advances in technology, the proliferation of social media, and the growing use of AI and FinTech solutions have added further layers of complexity to financial behaviour.
Against this backdrop, it is crucial to deepen our understanding of behavioural influences on financial markets, corporate policies, and public policy design, particularly in contexts where financial inclusion, market development, and stability are key policy priorities.
This special issue invites original high-quality submissions that examine behavioural aspects of finance from theoretical, empirical, experimental, and methodological perspectives. We welcome contributions that speak to a broad international audience, with particular interest in evidence from emerging and developed markets alike.
We invite submissions that explore, among others, the following themes:
- Investor psychology and decision-making under uncertainty and risk
- Behavioural biases in investment and trading
- AI, FinTech, and investor behaviour
- Social media and market sentiment — behavioural explanations for bubbles, crashes, and meme-stock phenomena
- Neurofinance and emotional processes in financial decision-making
- Behavioural public policy and financial inclusion
- Behavioural corporate finance
- Experimental and survey-based methodologies in behavioural finance research
- Behavioural responses to macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty in emerging and developed markets
- Emotions and social mood
- Herding, bubbles and crashes
- Behavioural trading strategies
- Behavioural market puzzles
- Role of sociology in finance
Submission Deadline: 30 September, 2026
All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review in accordance with JJES editorial and ethical standards.
