Prof. Schunk has become an associate editor of the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization. The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is an international peer-reviewed research journal that is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of market economies and economic organizations and how an economy's structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution.
The journal also explores the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics. It is eclectic as to research method; systematic observation and careful description, simulation modeling and mathematical and statistical analysis are all within its purview.
