BOR literature

Welcome to our literature corpus!

Below is a collection of Behavioural OR (BOR) articles, thoughtfully selected by the COB members of our EURO working group on BOR. Here, you’ll find insights into the core themes, methods, and discoveries that shape our research. This corpus not only highlights BOR contributions to advancing knowledge but also serves as a resource for collaborators, students, and professionals interested in exploring the depth and impact of our work.
