Abstract

Non-classical models of economic behaviour, usually summarised under the notion of 'Bounded Rationality' criticise the assumptions of the standard economic model - hyperrationality, perfect and costless information, and unlimited mental processing capabilities. However, alternative approaches have either remained very simple or purely descriptive. Here, a computational approach is presented based on Simon's concept of bounded rationality and satisficing as a compromise between the oversimplification of analytical and the descriptiveness of rich cognitive models.
