Individual And Institutional Economic Behaviour
Task: Critically evaluate theoretical explanations of behaviour at one level of aggregation.
Aspects which need to be included are:
Define a level of aggregation (individual, firm, state or supranational or international institutions)
Choose one theory and explain with the help of this theoretical viewpoint the behaviour at the selected aggregate level, for instance, bounded rationality in the case of individual behaviour.
Explore the role of risk and uncertainty at this level of aggregation.
Identify advantages and disadvantages of this theory evidenced with academic literature.
Show evidence for these advantages and disadvantages with the help of empirical data.
This can include government reports, statistics, interviews conducted by reputable
organizations and practitioner literature.
Depending on your provided discussion conclude if the evidence supports the theoretical assumptions or if not in which case you would need to suggest another theoretical viewpoint
