Reasoning about rationality
We provide a sound and complete axiomatization for a class of logics appropriate for reasoning about the rationality of players in games, and show that essentially the same axiomatization applies to a very wide class of decision rules. We also consider epistemic representations of games in which players may be uncertain as to what decision rules their opponents are using, and define in this con...

Social capital is a concept that can facilitate a friendly merger between sociological and economic theories of political behavior. Rational-choice theories emphasize resources and constraints, and political-cultural theories focus on normative rules and habitual behavior; social capital integrates both. Mutual obligations instituted among members of society function as “credit slips” which are...

We develop a model of strategic interaction between voters and potential electoral challengers to sitting incumbents, in which the very fact of a costly challenge conveys relevant information to voters. Given incumbent failure in office, challenger entry is more likely, but the threat of entry by inferior challengers creates an incentive for citizens to become more politically informed. At the ...
متن کاملBounded rationality and learning
Many have objected to the use of the Nash equilibrium (or more generally, Bayesian Nash equilibrium) concept in game theory, and similarly to the use of the rational expectations concept in the theory of competitive markets, on the grounds that the theory assumes too much sophistication and coordination of beliefs on the part of decision-markers. The papers in this volume are among those which ...
متن کاملOn rationality and learning
Much work in machine learning views learning primarily as a process of representation. We propose instead to view learning as the rational interpretation of experience. This provides a unifying, precise framework that illuminates both the strengths and weaknesses of current learning methods and the possibilities for uniformly mechanizing different types of learning. This research was supported ...
