Rationality as conformity

Hykel Hosni Jeffrey Paris

pp. 249-285

Abstract

We argue in favour of identifying one aspect of rational choice with the tendency to conform to the choice you expect another like-minded, but non-communicating, agent to make and study this idea in the very basic case where the choice is from a non-empty subset K of 2A and no further structure or knowledge of A is assumed.
