Bounded Rationality in Individual Decision Making Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Colin Camerer ()
The main objectives of this paper are: (i) To give a pithy, opinionated summary of what has been learned about bounded rationality in individual decision making from experiments in economics and psychology (drawing on my 1995 Handbook of Experimental Economics chapter); and (ii) mention some promising new directions for research which would be included if that chapter were written today.
