Quantity rationing is often observed to occur in actual markets where quality is difficult to observe. Standard theory suggests such markets must be in disequilibrium, since firms could increase profits by raising price. This paper develops a model in which consumers learn about firm quality from noisy observations of output quality.

Annual Review of Psychology, 2002
▪ Abstract This chapter reviews selected findings in research on reasoning, judgment, and choice and considers the systematic ways in which people violate basic requirements of the corresponding normative analyses. Recent objections to the empirical findings are then considered; these objections question the findings' relevance to assumptions about ...

Rationality and Bounded Rationality
Games and Economic Behavior, 1997The author enumerates five objections against various economic models. In particular, he argues that there is no unified theory of bounded rationality, but that the development of computer science, complexity theory and so on created an intellectual climate conducive to the development of the theory of bounded rationality. Specially, the preparation of

Are `Rational Conjectures' Rational?
The Journal of Industrial Economics, 1987The 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.

A theory of rationality is a theory that evaluates instances of reasoning as rational, irrational, or (ir)rational to some degree. Theories can be categorized as rule‐based or consequentialist. Rule‐based theories say that rational reasoning accords with certain rules (e.g., of logic or probability).

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 ...

Rational bijection of rational sets
Acta Informatica, 1980In this paper we initiate the study of rational bijections, that is of rational transductions which are bijections of a rational (=regular) set R onto a rational set S. We present a complete and easily decidable characterization of the existence of a rational bijection between two given rational sets.

European Journal of Political Economy, 1996
Abstract This paper investigates a simple three-good two-sector macromodel with fixed prices. 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 ...
