Special Issue: Information
Systems Research from the Behavioral Economics Perspective
At the turn of the 20th
century, the discipline of economics went through the neoclassical revolution,
built on assumptions about rationality of human behavioral economics.
Behavioral economics (hereafter, BE) is primarily concerned with the bounds of
rationality of economic agents. Behavioral Economics, which was incorporated
the insights of psychology and other social sciences into the economic
behavior, provides many important insights into managerial behavior (Bazerman
and Moore, 2013). It has dealt with the effects of psychological, social,
cognitive, and emotional factors on the economic decisions of individuals and
organizations (Kahneman, 2011). Since the BE is primarily concerned with the
bounds of rationality of economic agents, it covers a ranger of various
concept, methods and fields.
Although many of IS
researchers have realized the importance of an interdisciplinary perspective to
explain some of IS phenomenon, the application of BE research are not well
represented. This special issue promotes papers that show a direct link between
BE and IS field, with a special focus on the effects of IT implementation and
usage on economic agents¡¯ perception, behavior, and decision making process.
Much of what the IS field is about relates to information processing for
decision making. In particular, the current IS environments are facing the important
issues regarding privacy, trust, and security, which are fundamentally
connected to both the BE and IS.
Therefore, this special
issue aims to examine the main applications of BE to Information System
Research, both in classical terms as well as influenced by new emerging
technologies. The BE arises from research that shows human boundary rationality
and failures in acting in ¡°self¡±—interest, loss aversion, among
others—influence the making of economic choices and decisions. According to
Goes (2013)¡¯s editor comments in MIS Quarterly, along the advent of all
emerging technologies, the decision-making IS environments have amplified and
expanded in complexity, reaching many of individuals and consumers. These
environments are characterized by increasing information richness and
interactive decision making, often resulting in economic transactions:
crowdsourcing and collective intelligence, electronic marketplaces,
personalization and recommendation systems, and so forth.
This special issue
therefore promotes papers that show a direct link between Behavioral Economics
(BE) and IS fields, with a special focus on the effects of IT implementation
and usage on economic agents¡¯ perception, behavior, and decision making
process. We believe that this theoretical perspective explored represent
promising new avenues for much of IS research and we cordially invite you to
submit your valuable work to our special issue in APJIS.
