Abstract: The article proposes an Economic Psychology Manifesto to explore where economic psychology, psychologists and behavioural economists stand in 2023, whether there is a common ground on how the area is envisioned by them and future directions in the horizon. Several sources have inspired this initiative: the author's previous studies and publications on the history of economic psychology and its current tendencies; the debate within IAREP about identity, mission, vision, goals, strategies; a fellow behavioural scientist's recent manifesto regarding behavioural insights applications, briefly discussed too. The manifesto presented here has fifteen topics detailed after the summarized list, and it ends with an invitation to colleagues to join in this debate. It is not intended to be a definite document, but rather a starting point for those who may be interested in reflecting over what the discipline has been doing and proposes to do in the future.
