1. Freedom of choice and bounded rationality: a brief appraisal of behavioral economists' plea for light paternalism
Behavioral economics has addressed interesting positive and normative questions underlying the standard rational choice theory. More recently, it suggests that, in a real world of boundedly rational agents, economists could help people to improve the quality of their choices without any harm to autonomy and freedom of choice. This paper aims to scrutinize av

2. Decision support bioeconomic model for livestock systems / Modelo bioeconômico para suporte à decisão em sistemas pecuários
Rural managers make decisions in uncertain and dynamic environments. These characteristics, associated with bounded rationality can lead to the formulation of mental models that reflect reality in a distorted way. In this context, the procedures for modeling and simulation are important tools to understand how the production systems operate and to make decis

3. Instituições e desenvolvimento : críticas e alternativas à abordagem de variedades de capitalismo / Institutions and development : critiques and alternatives to the varieties of capitalism approach
The debate surrounding the role of institutions in economic performance has grown in recent years. Among the various strands that analyze this possible role is the one called Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) approach, developed by Peter Hall and David Soskice. According to proponents of this approach the relevant question lies in the fact that not only institut

4. Essays on decision sciences: exploring cognition, information processing, and complexity
This thesis provides three original contributions to the field of Decision Sciences. The first contribution explores the field of heuristics and biases. New variations of the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT--a test to measure "the ability or disposition to resist reporting the response that first comes to mind"), are provided. The original CRT (S. Frederick [

5. Herbert A. Simon and the concept of rationality: boundaries and procedures
This paper discusses Herbert A. Simon's conception of rationality in two of its principal general definitions: bounded rationality and procedural rationality. It argues that the latter is the one that better synthesizes the author's view about rational behavior and that the former fills mainly a critical function. They are complementarily used by Simon in th

6. Persistência inflacionária e curva de Phillips novo-keynesiana para o Brasil
Inflation persistence and new Keynesian Phillips curves for Brazil. In this paper is shown that sustainable inflation persistence has theoretical support not only due price indexation, but also because of micro-foundations based on assumptions of Simon's bounded rationality and because of persistent mark-up shocks. the new keynesian phillips curve, estimated

7. A relação entre riqueza e felicidade : um estudo sobre o bem-estar econômico e o bem-estar subjetivo
A maximização da utilidade é o objetivo final de muitas teorias econômicas. O significado de utilidade, a partir de um certo momento na história do pensamento econômico, se confundiu com a noção de riqueza. O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar se a riqueza está correlacionada com a felicidade. A metodologia adotada compreende a análise de diverso

8. Valuation models and Simon's bounded rationality
This paper aims at reconciling the evidence that sophisticated valuation models are increasingly used by companies in their investment appraisal with the literature of bounded rationality, according to which objective optimization is impracticable in the real world because it would demand an immense level of sophistication of the analytical and computational

An extensive literature review was conducted in three basic fields: transaction cost economics; organizational theory; and st

The Rational Agent model have been a foundational basis for theoretical models such as Economics, Management Science, Artificial Intelligence and Game Theory, mainly by the ¿maximization under constraints¿ principle, e.g. the ¿Expected Utility Models¿, among them, the Subjective Expected Utility (SEU) Theory, from Savage, placed as most influence player

11. Modelos Ortodoxos de Inflação Alta: Uma Análise Crítica / Orthodox High-Inflation Models: a Critical Analysis
This paper argues that orthodox models of high inflation for developing countries, based on seminal Cagan's model of hyperinflation, present some weak points by ignoring the complexity brought to the economy by high inflation, as well as by assuming that economic agents can dwell in this situation because they are endowed with an "unbounded rationality" to t
