About the Journal

Journal of Economics and Behavioral Studies (JEBS) is an open access, double-blind peer-reviewed journal published by AMH International. It publishes original, previously unpublished research, with a particular interest in work that contributes to the theoretical foundations of its field.

Focus and scope

JEBS exists to circulate knowledge among scholars, academics, professionals and practitioners by making it freely available worldwide. JEBS provides a forum for the intellectual exchange of academic research in economics, finance and behavioral studies, and addresses emerging issues and developments across those fields.

Submissions are welcome in, but not limited to, the following areas:

  • Economics, macroeconomics and microeconomics
  • Finance, banking and financial markets
  • Behavioral economics and decision making
  • Development economics and public policy
  • Econometrics and quantitative methods
  • Consumer behavior and market research

Peer review process

Every submission is first screened in house by the editors for relevance, scope, quality and originality, including a similarity check. Manuscripts that pass this screening are sent to experienced external reviewers in the relevant field.

All manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review: reviewers are not told who the authors are, and authors are not told who reviewed their work. We aim to return a decision within 8 to 10 weeks of submission, and to publish accepted manuscripts within 12 to 14 weeks.

Before submitting, please read the author guidelines and our publication ethics.

Publication frequency

JEBS publishes four issues each year.
