Welfare economics and bounded rationality: the case for model-based approaches
Journal of Economic Methodology 21 (4):343-360 (2014)
Abstract
In this paper, we examine the problems facing a policy maker who observes inconsistent choices made by agents who are boundedly rational. We contrast a model-less and a model-based approach to welfare economics. We make the case for the model-based approach and examine its advantages as well as some problematic issues associated with itAuthor's Profile
