Hardcover, xiv + 479 pages, NOT ex-library. A clean and bright copy with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Boards show gentle external wear, a few scratches. Published without a dust jacket. -- The social sciences study knowing subjects and their interactions. A "cognitive turn", based on cognitive science, has the potential to enrich these sciences considerably. Cognitive economics belongs within this movement of the social sciences. It aims to take into account the cognitive processes of individuals in economic theory, both on the level of the agent and on the level of their dynamic interactions and the resulting collective phenomena. This is an ambitious research programme that aims to link two levels of complexity: the level of cognitive phenomena as studied and tested by cognitive science, and the level of collective phenomena produced by the economic interactions between agents. Such an objective requires cooperation, not only between economists and cognitive scientists but also with mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists, in order to renew, study and simulate models of dynamical systems involving economic agents and their cognitive mechanisms. The hard core of classical economics is the General Equilibrium Theory, based on the optimising rationality of the agent and on static concepts of equilibrium, following a point of view systemised in the framework of Game Theory. The agent is considered "rational" if everything takes place as if he was maximising a function representing his preferences, his utility function. -- Contents: 1 What is Cognitive Economics? 2 Rational Choice under Uncertainty 3 General Equilibrium 4 The Principles of Game Theory 5 Rationality and the Experimental Study of Reasoning 6 Supraclassical Inference without Probability 7 From Natural to Artificial Intelligence: Numerical Processing for Cognitive Tasks 8 An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics 9 Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and the Transition to Disorder in Physics 10 Co-Evolutionist Stochastic Dynamics: Emergence of Power Laws 11 Topics of Cognitive Economics 12 What is a Collective Belief? 13 Conditional Statements and Directives 14 Choice Axioms for a Positive Value of Information 15 Elements of Viability Theory for the Analysis of Dynamic Economics 16 Stochastic Evolutionary Game Theory 17 The Evolutionary Analysis of Signal Games 18 The Structure of Economic Interaction: Individual and Collective Rationality 19 Experimental Markets: Empirical Data for Theorists 20 Social Interactions in Economic Theory: An Insight from Statistical Mechanics 21 Adjustment and Social Choice 22 From Agent-based Computational Economics Towards Cognitive Economics 23 Social Networks and Economic Dynamics 24 Coalitions and Networks in Economic Analysis 25 Threshold Phenomena versus Killer Clusters in Bimodal Competition for Standards 26 Cognitive Efficiency of Social Networks Providing Consumption Advice on Experience Goods; Appendix: Convergence Analysis; The Future of Cognitive Economics.…
