-consistent Expectations Equilibria This Piece of Research Was Supported by the Austrian Science Foundation (fwf) under Grant Sfb#010 (`adaptive Information Systems and Modelling in Economics and Management Science'). -consistent Expectations Equilibria

We modify the concept of consistent expectations equilibria introduced in Hommes and Sorger (1998) in two ways: (i) the consistency condition requires that the probability that the agents reject their perceived law of motion in any period does not exceed a given level and (ii) there may exist exogenous stochastic shocks. The concept is illustrated by two examples using a linear economic system....

Influencing nonmonotonic reasoning by modifier strength manipulation

Despite the current belief that much common sense reasoning is nonmonotonic in nature, research indicates that only a limited percentage of people are good at nonmonotonic reasoning. Good nonmonotonic reasoners recognize the logical strengths and weaknesses of some arguments. In the present study, we focus on differences in the probabilistic interpretation of the modifiers typically and usually...

Nonmonotonic Reasoning by MonotonicInferences with Priority

The purpose of this paper is to argue that nonmonotonic reasoning in general can be viewed as monotonic inferences constrained by a simple notion of priority constraint. More important, these type of constrained inferences can be speciied in a knowledge representation language where a theory consists of a collection of logic programming-like rules and a priority constraint among them: that the ...
