− | 1933年,西蒙进入芝加哥大学学习。在他早期所受到的影响下,他决定学习社会科学和数学。西蒙对生物学很感兴趣,但由于“色盲和实验室里的笨拙” ,他选择了不从事这一领域的研究。西蒙很小的时候就知道自己是色盲,并且发现外部世界和感知的世界是不一样的。在大学期间,西蒙专注于政治科学和经济学。西蒙最重要的导师是亨利 · 舒尔茨,一位计量经济学家和数学经济学家。在报名参加了“测量市政府”的课程后,西蒙成为了克拉伦斯·里德利的研究助理,两人合著了《测量市政活动: 1938年评估行政管理建议标准调查》。这项研究引导他进入组织决策领域,也成为了他博士论文的主题。 | + | 1933年,西蒙进入芝加哥大学学习。在他早期所受到的影响下,他决定学习社会科学和数学。西蒙对生物学很感兴趣,但由于“色盲和实验室里的笨拙” ,他选择了不从事这一领域的研究。西蒙很小的时候就知道自己是色盲,并且发现外部世界和感知的世界是不一样的。在大学期间,西蒙专注于政治科学和经济学。西蒙最重要的导师是亨利 · 舒尔茨,一位计量经济学家和数学经济学家。在报名参加了“测量市政府”的课程后,西蒙成为了克拉伦斯·里德利的研究助理,两人合著了《测量市政活动: 1938年评估行政管理建议标准调查》。这项研究引导他进入组织决策领域,也成为了他博士论文的主题。1943年,西蒙在芝加哥大学获得政治科学博士学位(Ph.D in Political Science)。 |

| At the [[Cowles Commission]], Simon's main goal was to link economic theory to mathematics and statistics. His main contributions were to the fields of [[general equilibrium]] and [[econometrics]]. He was greatly influenced by the marginalist debate that began in the 1930s. The popular work of the time argued that it was not apparent empirically that entrepreneurs needed to follow the marginalist principles of profit-maximization/cost-minimization in running organizations. The argument went on to note that profit maximization was not accomplished, in part, because of the lack of complete information. In decision-making, Simon believed that agents face uncertainty about the future and costs in acquiring information in the present. These factors limit the extent to which agents may make a fully rational decision, thus they possess only "[[bounded rationality]]" and must make decisions by "[[satisficing]]", or choosing that which might not be optimal, but which will make them happy enough. Bounded rationality is a central theme in behavioral economics. It is concerned with the ways in which the actual decision making process influences decision. Theories of bounded rationality relax one or more assumptions of standard [[Expected utility hypothesis|expected utility theory]]. | | At the [[Cowles Commission]], Simon's main goal was to link economic theory to mathematics and statistics.

| Further, Simon emphasized that psychologists invoke a "procedural" definition of rationality, whereas economists employ a "substantive" definition. Gustavos Barros argued that the procedural rationality concept does not have a significant presence in the economics field and has never had nearly as much weight as the concept of bounded rationality.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Barros|first1=Gustavo|title=Herbert A.

In particular, economists should employ "auxiliary assumptions" that reflect the knowledge in the relevant biomedical fields, and guide the specification of econometric models for health outcomes. | | Further, Simon emphasized that psychologists invoke a "procedural" definition of rationality, whereas economists employ a "substantive" definition.
