jmsc-behavioral-om

separate

Use when taking the behavioral operations (行为运作) path of a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — designing controlled experiments, manipulation checks, and a behavioral model that identifies the bias parameter, so the contribution is a model that explains behavior, not just an effect. Use when human decisions are the object of study instead of pure analytical modeling; use when reviewers ask where the identifiable behavioral parameter is.

When to use

• Designing controlled experiments for behavioral operations
• Identifying behavioral parameters from experimental data
• Conducting manipulation checks
• Comparing behavioral models to rational benchmarks
• Addressing reviewer concerns about behavioral model identification
• Calibrating behavioral models with experimental data

When not to use

• Pure analytical modeling without human decision data
• Optimization, algorithms, or numerical proofs
• Pure psychology experiments without operations decisions
• Hypothetical surveys without incentive compatibility
• Reporting effects without a behavioral model
