Provides a timely consideration of major concepts by which Decision Economics is understood as an emerging, novel discipline, such as the study of agents' behaviour and their interactions under uncertainty, in order to discuss, inter alia, whether standard economics can be considered a science or even an academic pursuit. Illustrates the potential, importance, and breadth of algorithmic social science research in this novel discipline, bringing together cognitive sciences, economics, and mathematics to analyse the decision-making, both normatively and positively, and the related market functioning within the ecosystem. Includes contributions by renowned scientists, scholars, and leaders of research, offering new ideas that help launch into the economic theory, methodology, and analysis in the 21st Century.
