Call for Chapters
Proposals Submission Deadline: January 31, 2015
Full Chapters Due: May 31, 2015
Introduction
For release in the Advances in Finance, Accounting, and Economics
<http://www.igi-global.com/book-series/advances-finance-accounting-economics/73685>
Book
Series.
Series Editor(s): Ahmed Driouchi (Al Akhawayn University, Morocco)
ISSN: 2327-5677
The *Advances in Finance, Accounting, and Economics (AFAE)* book series
aims to publish comprehensive and informative titles in all areas of
economics and economic theory, finance, and accounting to assist in
advancing the available knowledge and providing for further research
development in these dynamic fields.

Neuroeconomics is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to explain human decision making, the ability to process multiple alternatives and to follow a course of action. It studies how economic behavior can shape our
understanding of the brain, and how neuroscientific discoveries can constrain and guide models of economics. It combines research methods from neuroscience, experimental and behavioral economics, and cognitive and
social psychology. As research into decision-making behavior becomes increasingly computational, it has also incorporated new approaches from theoretical biology, computer science, and mathematics. Neuroeconomics
studies decision making by using a combination of tools from these fields to avoid the shortcomings that arise from a single-perspective approach. In mainstream economics, expected utility (EU), and the concept of rational
agents are still being used. Many economic behaviors are not fully explained by these models, such as heuristics and framing. Behavioral economics emerged to account for these anomalies by integrating social, cognitive, and emotional factors in understanding economic decisions.
Neuroeconomics adds another layer by using neuroscientific methods in understanding the interplay between economic behavior and neural mechanisms. By using tools from various fields, some scholars claim that
neuroeconomics offers a more integrative way of understanding decision making.
Objective
The primary objective of the proposed publication is that of Reference material for scholars and business executives who need to understand the importance and influence of neuroeconomics on 21st century developing and
developed economies. The secondary objective is to provide a foundation for other similar books on the subject. The book should be published because there are few reference / resource materials available on the emerging field of neuroeconomics
Target Audience
The primary intended audience is leading academics and
scholar-practitioners who need a single reference source for this field. The secondary intended audience is business executives and undergraduate/graduate business students who require the same Reference material.
