摘要

In June 2002, the Lorentz center in Leiden, the Netherlands, hosted a small workshop on Economic Dynamics. This special issue of the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control is a collection of 10 papers presented at that workshop. The rational paradigm in economic theory assumes that economic agents are decision makers (e.g. households) who are fully rational in choosing their actions, given their perceived feasibility constraints (e.g. a budget set), in order to optimize some objective function (e.g. a utility function). The implications of this assumption surface when the hypothesis of rationality is extended to a dynamical economic environment, where agents have to form expectations about the future realization of certain economic variables. In order for their predictions to be rational, that is consistent with the actual stochastic evolution of the economy, there are two alternatives. Either we treat this situation as an equilibrium in the Debreu sense and say, "if all agents had these expectations then everything would be consistent and we can find the corresponding equilibrium". Alternatively, we might wish to know how agents come to have these expectations. In this case, agents have to understand their economic environment (Muth, in his classic Econometrica paper, writes: "... I should like to suggest, that expectations, since they are informed predictions of future events, are essentially the same as the prediction of the relevant economic theory." (Muth, 1961, p. 316)). It is obvious that this sort of rationality demands quite a lot of the cognitive abilities and computational skills of economic agents.
