About the Summer Institute on Bounded Rationality: “The Summer Institute is called ‘Summer Institute on Bounded Rationality’ – what do we mean by bounded rationality? In short it refers to how the mind reasons under limited time, information, and computational power. Whereas logic and probability theory assume perfect knowledge about the relevant features of the world, bounded rationality seeks to specify simple step-by-step rules (heuristics) that function well in an uncertain and complex world.”
