The B.E. Journal of Theoretical Economics (BEJTE) welcomes submissions in all areas of economic
theory, both applied and „pure“ theory. Contributions can be either innovations in economic theory or
rigorous new applications of existing theory. Pure theory papers published in the journal include, but
are by no means limited to, those in behavioral economics and decision theory, game theory, general
equilibrium theory, and the theory of economic mechanisms. Applications could encompass, but are
not restricted to, contract theory, public finance, financial economics, industrial organization, law and
economics, and labor economics.
