Ariel Rubinstein : Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Now, almost half a century after Simon (1957) coined the term "bounded rationality", there is only little controversy left concerning the importance of the issue. The amount of empirical and experimental evidence revealing the limitations of human knowledge, cognition, and computational abilities is so large that it simply can no longer be ignored. Therefore, the debate in the field of economic theory has shifted from the question Is bounded rationality important? to the question How should bounded rationality be modeled? In this way, modeling bounded rationality has turned out to be one of those new topics in economic theory that has gained an enormous innovative potential. The quest for answers has begun and already various approaches have emerged. Most of them are being followed in parallel.

models are successfully constructed and meaning emerges from the manipulation of symbols. It is moving when I observe that same excitement in students’ faces. Thus, my greatest dilemma is between my attraction to economic theory, on the one hand, and my doubts about its relevance, on the other. In this lecture I will try to decompose this basic dilemma into four parts: The dilemma of absurd con...
