GAMES AND ECONOMIC BEHAVIOR

《博弈论与经济行为》(GEB)是一本致力于博弈论和it应用发展的综合性期刊。博弈论的应用涵盖了社会、行为、数学和生物科学的广泛领域，博弈论方法论借鉴了这些科学的大量工具。出版标准:GEB出版的一般兴趣论文显著地推进了博弈论及其应用的前沿。这是一个很高的标准，但《华尔街日报》的编辑们对相关的解释和权衡持开放态度。例如，《产业组织》中关于企业并购的一篇论文，如果有助于我们对联盟形成的理解，那么它可能具有普遍的博弈论意义。同样，计算机算法所玩游戏的分析可能与战略思维的建模有关。编辑们对前沿也持开放的态度。他们乐于发表论文，尽管这些论文并不在当前流行的领域，但它们将引领博弈论和应用领域的重大新前沿。因此，鼓励作者在论文本身明确说明它符合这些出版标准。评估程序:每篇论文最初由GEB的总编辑分配给七名编辑之一(包括他自己)，他拥有最终决定权。在决定他们的决定时，编辑会咨询顾问编辑和匿名的审稿人。然后，指定的编辑(非匿名)在决议书中将其决定传达给通信作者，通常伴有一个或多个推荐人和/或咨询编辑的报告。目前，GEB发表了大约15%的论文。然而，当编辑认为一篇提交的论文没有机会达到期刊发表标准时，他们就会在没有经过标准的、漫长的评估过程的情况下“拒绝发表”该论文。大约三分之一的论文被拒之门外。

Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) is a general-interest journal devoted to the advancement of game theory and it applications. Game theory applications cover a wide range of subjects in social, behavioral, mathematical and biological sciences, and game theoretic methodologies draw on a large variety of tools from those sciences.Publication criteria: GEB publishes general-interest papers that significantly advance the frontiers of game theory and its applications. This is a high bar, but the journal's editors are open-minded about the interpretations and trade-offs involved. For example, a paper in industrial organization that deals with corporate takeover might be of general game-theoretic interest if it contributes to our understanding of coalition formation. Similarly, the analysis of games played by computer algorithms might be relevant to modeling strategic thinking. The editors are also open-minded about the frontiers. They are happy to publish papers that, while not in currently popular areas, lead to significant new frontiers in game theory and applications. Authors are therefore encouraged to make a clear case, in the paper itself, that it meets these publication criteria.Evaluation procedure: Each paper is initially assigned by GEB's chief editor to one of the seven editors (including himself), who has final decision authority. In determining their decisions, editors consult with advisory editors and reviewers who are anonymous to the authors. The assigned editor then (non-anonymously) communicates her/his decision to the corresponding author in a decision letter, usually accompanied by one or more referees' and/or advisory editors' reports. Currently GEB publishes about 15% of the submitted papers. However, when editors decide that a submitted paper does not have a chance of meeting the journal publication criterion, they "desk-reject" the paper without going through the standard, lengthy evaluation process. About one third of the submitted papers are desk-rejected.
