Testing Consumer Rationality Using Perfect Graphs and Oriented Discs
Given a consumer data-set, the axioms of revealed preference proffer a binary test for rational behaviour. A natural (non-binary) measure of the degree of rationality exhibited by the consumer is the minimum number of data points whose removal induces a rationalisable data-set. We study the computational complexity of the resultant consumer rationality problem in this paper. We explain how to f...
متن کاملDeductive rationality in validating and testing conditional inferences.
We asked people to validate conditional inferences (e.g., "A, therefore C" with "if A then C"). People are more likely to look for falsifications ("A and not-C") versus confirmations ("A and C") given a forced choice. Second, falsification rates are lower for logically valid versus invalid inferences. Logically valid inferences are inferences that follow necessarily. Experiment 1 (N = 96) shows...
متن کاملTesting behavioral game theory: higher-order rationality and consistent beliefs
This paper investigates the behavioral and experimental support for different epistemic conditions that form the foundations of several game theoretic solution concepts. It employs strategic choice data from a carefully chosen set of ringnetwork games to obtain individual-level estimates of the following epistemic conditions: rationality; beliefs about the rationality of others; and consistent ...
متن کاملTesting the Ecological Rationality of Base Rate Neglect
What simple learning rules can allow agents to cope with changing environments? We tested whether a rule that neglects base rates of events in the world — something that is usually considered irrational — could be as successful as Bayesian inference — the usual standard of rationality — in making cuebased predictions about events in time-varying environments. We focused on environments in which...
متن کاملJurisprudence and Rationality
There are different concepts of rationality: specific rationality, normative rationality and instrumental rationality whose limitation covers the holistic rationality and represents the fate of rationality in the West. Thus following Hume reason became the slave of feelings and lost its authority for choosing the goal. In Islamic culture reason with its undeniable background in Shariah enjoy...
