Credo of a `Reasonable Choice' Modeler

Author

  • A Wuffle

Abstract

This note seeks to steer a path between the scylla of dogmatic faith that rational choice models can explain all aspects of human behavior, borrowed from economists such as Gary Becker, and the charybdis of some recent political science work that argues the view that rational choice `has no clothes' and is useless in explaining human behavior. I take what I, along with my colleague Bernard Grofman, identify as the `reasonable choice' view.
