Smart Economic Decision-Making in a Complex World de Morris Altman

Smart Economic Decision-Making in a Complex World

Autor Morris Altman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mai 2020

Subliniem faptul că procesul decizional într-o lume marcată de incertitudine necesită mai mult decât simple teorii abstracte; necesită cadre de analiză adaptate realității. Smart Economic Decision-Making in a Complex World oferă cititorului instrumentele practice necesare pentru a naviga între asumpțiile realiste și construcția de modele robuste. Remarcăm utilizarea șabloanelor de gândire care explică cum și când comportamentul non-neoclasic devine cea mai bună practică pentru atingerea eficienței.

Structura volumului este riguros organizată în zece capitole, ghidând cititorul de la evoluția instituțiilor și impactul complexității, până la aplicații critice în alfabetizarea financiară și funcționarea pieței muncii. Dacă Decision Theory and Choices: a Complexity Approach v-a oferit cadrul teoretic al preferințelor consistente, această carte oferă instrumentele practice pentru a înțelege 'cutia neagră' a firmei și modul în care puterea și preferințele influențează productivitatea reală.

În contextul operei sale, Morris Altman continuă explorarea începută în Economic Growth and the High Wage Economy, mutând însă accentul de la cadrul teoretic al piețelor de muncă spre mecanismul intim al alegerii individuale și colective. Recomandăm această lucrare pentru modul în care reușește să integreze economia comportamentală într-un format accesibil, similar stilului din Behavioral Economics For Dummies, dar păstrând rigoarea academică necesară nivelului universitar. Analiza oferă o perspectivă clară asupra modului în care politicile greșite pot conduce la șomaj involuntar și cum, prin decizii inteligente, se poate maximiza bunăstarea socială.

Descriere scurtă

Smart Economic Decision-Making in a Complex World is a fresh and reality-based perspective on decision-making with significant implications for analysis, self-understanding and policy. The book examines the conditions under which smart people generate outcomes that improve their place of work, their household and society. Within this work, the curious reader will find interesting open questions on many fascinating areas of current economic debate, including, the role of realistic assumptions robust model building, understanding how and when non-neoclassical behavior is best practice, why the assumption of smart decision-makers is best to understand and explain our economies and societies, and under what conditions individuals can make the best possible choices for themselves and society at large.
Additional sections cover when and how efficiency is achieved, why inefficiencies can persist, when and how consumer welfare is maximized, and what benchmarks should be used to determine efficiency and rationality.


  • Makes the case for ‘smart and rational’ decision-making as a context-dependent rational process that is framed by socio-cultural environment and conditioned by institutional capacities
  • Explains how incorporation of the ‘smart’ decision-maker concept into economic thought improves our understanding of how, why and when people generate certain outcomes
  • Explores how economic efficiency can be achieved, individual preferences realized, and social welfare maximized through the use of ‘smart and rational’ approaches

Recenzii

"Considers how individuals’ decisions are impacted by their decision-making environment and decision-making capabilities, examining the determinants of effective decision making from both an individual and social perspective through a smart agent approach. Explores the evolution of behavioral economics from a multidisciplinary rational agent approach. Discusses the evolution of decision making and best-practice decision making from an evolutionary, bottom-up perspective articulated by Friedrich Hayek." --Journal of Economic Literature
"Contemporary behavioral economics often downplays the founding work of Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon and the Carnegie School. Morris Altman shows that Simon’s original behavioral economics can still offer much insight, particularly in highly complex contexts. Going beyond the focus on ‘errors and biases’ in much of current behavioral economics, Altman develops a rich, dynamic analysis, stressing the role of institutional and environmental factors in decision-making. This is an extremely important book." -- Geoff Hodgson, Professor in Management, Loughborough University London
"Morris Altman’s understanding of behavioral economics is broad and far-reaching. In this book he has drawn on the history of economic thought, economics and ethics, and the methodology of economics to explain how behavioral economics has changed the goals and trajectory of recent economics. Especially valuable is his attention to Herbert Simon’s early contribution and those of Gerd Gigerenzer and his colleagues to an ecological economics. Altman’s assessment of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s influential work is perceptive and fresh. This book will be very useful to scholars and students looking for a full understanding of this important development in contemporary economic thinking, and is strongly recommended." --John Davis, Professor Emeritus of Economics, Marquette University
"Altman has written an excellent evolution of behavioral economics, and how it is similar and different from neoclassical theory. Anyone interested in behavioral economics will find this book interesting and informative." -- Roger Frantz, Professor Emeritus of Economics, San Diego State University
