RATIONAL CONSUMERS* [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Economic Review, 2016
The life cycle/permanent income hypothesis (LCPIH) entails two postulates: People have rational expectations and people do not have problems with self‐control. If either or both of these postulates do not apply, we cannot obtain a testable implication for the LCPIH.

Rational rationing?

Clinical Ethics, 2008
Triage-like procedures for solving the problems of rationing cannot work. And anyway, why should health- and medical workers carry the can for the economic and political decisions of their managers and our politicians? To foist rationing decisions onto them is a political con-trick, a deliberate attempt to deflect managerial and political ...

Are `Rational Conjectures' Rational?

The Journal of Industrial Economics, 1987
The concepts of 'rational conjectures' and 'reasonable conjectures' are critically reviewed. It is shown that their operation depends crucially on an invisible, non-optimizing 'deus ex machina'. Hence, these concepts are not really suitable for understanding competition among optimizing firms.

In order to omit any ad hoc assumptions about the market outcomes we analyse the model as a game played by (fully) rational players. Whereas the notion of rationality underlying the concept of Nash equilibria implies a multiplicity of solutions (with ...

Australia’s health-care system is functioning well.Health expenditure is within reasonable bounds andis almost exactly what would be predicted from inter-national comparisons, given the size of our economy.That does not stop doomsayers from speculating that,within a short time frame, costs will escalate out ofcontrol.

Credit Rationing and Rational Behavior

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 1994
This paper shows that optimal consumption is weakly increasing in the borrowing ceiling, while savings and the welfare losses caused by borrowing constraints are weakly decreasing. More important, the strict inequalities may hold even at high saving levels at which the constraints are not expected to bind any time soon. In essence, the paper shows that
