IBES
ByLaws From the Bylaws, Statement of Purpose: This section recognizes that human nature involves complex motives and influences, such as self-interest; moral considerations; sentiments; and social/emotional dimensions of individual economic actions. Therefore, the Objectives of this section shall be:
a: Encourage robust empirical tests of theories of human behavior.
b: Provide validation and support for those who may wish to explore alternatives to orthodox theories, especially for new entrants into the profession.
c: Broaden the horizons, theories and approaches currently brought to the AAEA, and to the national discourse on agricultural, food, community and resource issues.
d: Encourage AAEA members to explore and develop new tools of analysis and methodologies consistent with alternative theories that reflect the complexity of human nature and institutions.
e: Expand the capacity for interdisciplinary work and dialogue with other social sciences.
