Peter Cramton, Axel Ockenfels, Dirk Sliwka and Ludwig Kuntz accepted editorial positions at a flagship journal in business administration: ‘Management Science’. As one of the world’s top journals in business administration, ‘Management Science’ employs several editors for different research areas.

Axel Ockenfels has been appointed as new Department Editor for Behavioral Economics. He will be supported from two colleagues in Cologne, Peter Cramton and Dirk Sliwka, who have been appointed as Associate Editors. Other associate editors include nobel laureates Alvin Roth and Richard Thaler.

Their main responsibility of the new editors is to help shaping the research focus in the field, by presiding over and managing the publication process. With these appointments, Cologne's key profile area ‘Economic Design & Behavior’ will become a new focus of the journal.
