Rational Choice Theory: An Overview
It seems easy to accept that rationality involves many features that cannot be summarized in terms of some straightforward formula, such as binary consistency. However, this recognition does not immediately lead to alternative characterizations that might be regarded as satisfactory, even though the inadequacies of the traditional assumptions of rational behavior standard used in economic theo...
متن کاملChoice and Normative Preference
Due to factors such as temptation, choices may not respect normative preference (the agents own, subjective view of what constitutes his welfare). Nevertheless, the evidence on preference reversals suggests a means of recovering normative preference from choice. A de nition of normative preference in terms of choices between su¢ ciently delayed alternatives is formulated and studied. Mild cond...

متن کاملOptimizing reward rate in two alternative choice tasks: Mathematical formalism
In this report we collect and summarize mathematical results and formalism appropriate to describing one-dimensional drift-diffusion processes (stochastic ordinary differential equations) and related first passage and probability density evolution problems, governed by the backward and forward Kolmogorov (Fokker-Planck) equations respectively. We start by reviewing the Neyman-Pearson and Sequen...
متن کاملOn Choice Rules in Dependent Type Theory
In a dependent type theory satisfying the propositions as types correspondence together with the proofs-as-programs paradigm, the validity of the unique choice rule or even more of the choice rule says that the extraction of a computable witness from an existential statement under hypothesis can be performed within the same theory. Here we show that the unique choice rule, and hence the choice ...
