The Concept of Rationality in Neoclassical and Behavioural Economic Theory

Abstract: Theories that are based on the neoclassical basis such as expected utility theory or the theory of efficient markets assume rational choice of subjects in the sense of an optimal choice according to the criteria of neo-classical economics. Behavioral theory such as prospect theory assumes limited rationality in the choice of subjects. In this research the problem of choosing subjects is treated differently. The aim of this paper is to attempt a comparison between two basic approaches of contemporary economic t… Show more

“…The HCT model assumes that an individual's choice is made from a finite set of known alternatives whereas the necessary information needed to make an informed decision is present. At the institutional level, a PHEI can maximize its utility with cost minimization as they consider the constraints of the variables in play (Soukup et al, 2015). Meaning that institutions achieve marginal utility through shifts in supply and demand for enrollment for the major fields of study in their respective programs.…”

“…Eventually, both economists agreed that this is the difference between the retail price and production cost along with the economic surplus. One of the main and starting postulations of neoclassical economics is liked with the utility of the consumers, not the price or cost of the production (Tsoulfidis and Tsaliki, 2019;Soukup et al, 2015). The relation of the concept of the classical and neo classical theory is important for the study related to energy consumption and economic growth in Indonesia.…”

“…However, in the context of transition, it was highly criticized due to absence of perfect competitive market and basic market institutions and tools. On the other hand, the assumption of capital movement from economically developed countries to the capital-scarce countries was very important for understanding incentives of FDI in transition economies (McDougall, 1960), (Soukup et al, 2015).…”
