Behavioural ecological economics - Positioning the field and introducing the special issue

he purpose of this special issue is to explore the relationship between ecological economics (EE) and behavioural economics (BE). We invited submissions of experimental, theoretical, and empirical papers on integrating behavioural economics into ecological economics, including behavioural levers, policy instruments, analytical models of collective action, and social, cultural, and ethical values. The aim was to understand how individual behaviour and collective actions can foster an ecological transition, and whether the contours of a distinct “behavioural ecological economics” (BEE) can be defined.
