Dr. Johannes Lohse (Leuphana), Dr. Rima-Maria Rahal (MPI), Dr. Michael Schulte-Mecklenbeck (MPI), Dr. Andis Sofianos (Durham), and Dr. Conny Wollbrant (St. Andrews) have jointly published an editorial titled “Investigations of Decision Processes at the Intersection of Psychology and Economics.” This editorial, which serves as the introduction to the special issue "Cognition and Economic Behavior" in the Journal of Economic Psychology, highlights current developments in the research of cognitive processes underlying economic decisions.

By utilizing both psychological and economic expertise, the articles in the special issue demonstrate how perception, attention, and information processing can influence economic behavior. The included studies underscore the necessity of going beyond mere observation of decisions and employing methods such as mouse and eye-tracking techniques to gain deeper insights into the processes of information processing and decision-making.
