Overview

The Association for NeuroPsychoEconomics (ANPE) is a scholarly organization founded in 2005 that serves researchers working at the interface of neuroscience, psychology, and economics. It describes itself as the premier scholarly organization for this interdisciplinary field, bringing together academics who study how brain and cognitive processes shape economic decision-making and how economic models can be informed by psychological and neural evidence. ANPE operates two main scholarly outlets. The first is the NeuroPsychoEconomics Conference Proceedings (ISSN: 1861-8243), the official annual conference proceedings that feature the latest research presented at the association's meetings; these proceedings are searchable and downloadable through Ebsco. The second is the association's flagship journal, the Journal of Neuroscience, Psychology and Economics (JNPE), which is published by the American Psychological Association. The association is a strategic partner of the American Psychological Association (APA), a relationship that supports the publication of JNPE and reinforces ANPE's position within the broader psychology and economics research community. Its activities center on an annual conference, the resulting proceedings, and the journal, through which it disseminates peer-reviewed and conference research. ANPE's membership and audience are international, comprising academics, researchers, and practitioners interested in neuroeconomics, consumer neuroscience, judgment and decision-making, and related areas. The organization maintains a website at neuropsychoeconomics.org, where it posts news, calls for submissions, and information about its publications and conference. Its stated mission is to advance research and exchange at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and economics.

History

The Association for NeuroPsychoEconomics (ANPE) was founded in 2005 as a scholarly organization dedicated to research at the interface of neuroscience, psychology, and economics. It emerged during a period of rapid growth in neuroeconomics and related interdisciplinary fields, when researchers increasingly sought to combine brain and behavioral evidence with economic theory. From its early years, ANPE established an annual conference as its central gathering, and it began publishing the NeuroPsychoEconomics Conference Proceedings (ISSN: 1861-8243) to disseminate the research presented there. The proceedings became the association's official annual publication and are now searchable and downloadable through Ebsco. A major development was the creation of the association's flagship journal, the Journal of Neuroscience, Psychology and Economics (JNPE), which is published by the American Psychological Association. This arrangement reflects ANPE's role as a strategic partner of the APA, a relationship that has helped anchor the journal within the established psychology publishing ecosystem. Over time, ANPE has continued to position itself as the premier scholarly organization for the field, maintaining a website that provides news, calls for submissions, and access to its publications. Its activities remain focused on the annual conference, the proceedings, and JNPE, serving an international community of academics and researchers.
