The origin of predictable behavior: comment
Article Abstract:
Ronald A. Heiner, between 1983 and 1988, studied decision making under uncertainty. Heiner developed a reliability condition to identify whether decision makers with a competence-difficulty gap would benefit from being able to choose possible actions. Heiner's theory has many economic applications. One problem with Heiner's theory is explored.
