چکیده
We build and describe an agent-based model: the Surprise Game. The game comprises a “world” of 30 fi rms, each of which has to survive (and, if possible, prosper) in its environment, which is nothing more than the other 29 fi rms. Each fi rm has to latch onto one or other of the four strategies that are predicted by the theory of plural rationality but has to relinquish that strategy and latch onto one of the others if it fi nds itself surprised. This model illustrates the dynamics of the world as described by the theory of plural rationality which are more similar to the dynamics of the actual world than economic models that assume equilibriums that are occasionally disturbed by shocks. This model and the theory of plural rationality provide insights and ideas for further work for actuaries.

The Effects of Openness and Globalization on Inflation: An ARDL Bounds Test Approach
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis first proposed by Romer (1993); suggesting that inflation is lower in more open economies. According to this hypothesis, central banks have a lower incentive to engineer surprise inflations in more-open economies because the Phillips curve is steeper. Furthermore, Comparing with other empirical studies, this paper has used the new KOF...

متن کاملRunning head: Surprise in Decision Making SURPRISE IN DECISION MAKING UNDER UNCERTAINTY
In four experiments we investigate overand underweighting of probabilities in decisions under risk. To account for this phenomenon we propose a view of the probability weighting function as a composite of cognitive and emotional processes and suggest that there is no single weighting function but two separate weighting functions for each process. Data obtained from a rating as well as three cho...

متن کاملSurprise beyond prediction error
Surprise drives learning. Various neural "prediction error" signals are believed to underpin surprise-based reinforcement learning. Here, we report a surprise signal that reflects reinforcement learning but is neither un/signed reward prediction error (RPE) nor un/signed state prediction error (SPE). To exclude these alternatives, we measured surprise responses in the absence of RPE and account...
