报告摘要：
The traditional homo economicus (HE), serving as the workhorse for much economic modeling and applications over the past centuries, is fully self-interested and endowed with unbounded capacities for reasoning, thinking, computation, cognition, memory, leaving little room for psychology, including emotion, or biology. Since the founding of game theory in the 1940’s, HE has also been enriched with expected utility preference and unlimited strategic sense. The behavioral economicus (BE) who recognizes her many limitations including its being linked to prospect theory (with its share of flaws) emerged almost as a reaction to the accumulating evidence of deviations from HE-style optimality. These include experimental evidence of other-regarding behavior such as altruism and herding, choice paradoxes, and cognitive and attentional limitations. At about 50 years old, might BE be facing her own crisis given the ever-increasing number of anomalies with respect to HE?
Imagine you are in a situation with several dozen university students where each can receive an amount of money by entering a number between 0 and 100 and the prize goes to the one whose number is closest to 0.7 times the average. Consider how you might approach this p-Beauty problem and what would be the approach taken by HE (who would write 0 in viewing others like herself) and BE (who measures herself against and could come up with just about any number). In their place, we explore an intelligence economicus (IE) approach based on a definition of situation intelligence (Andler, 2017) applied to a choice situation, such as p-Beauty. This approach leverages the identity of the decision maker which includes a range of her actual abilities (reasoning, problem solving, cognition, language, theory-of-mind, and imagination) in addition to her experience, upbringing, values and morals, attentiveness, memory, physiological state, mood, and biology, and encompasses the parallel development of a theory of choice under situation uncertainty. For the p-Beauty example, unlike BE, IE does not view HE as providing a benchmark for decision making especially in a strategic situation. In a non-strategic situation, IE may behave like HE if arriving at the global optimum is obvious or accessible in a way that is consonant with her abilities along with her physical and mental state.
