Hamlet and Rational Choice International Advances in Economic Research Pub Date : 2023-01-30 Jim Leitzel
A standard interpretation of the character of Hamlet is that he is indecisive, even pathologically so, and that his indecisiveness is manifested by the lengthy passage of time between when Hamlet is told that his father’s death was a murder and when he kills the perpetrator. Rational choice in economics concerns the connection between means and ends. A person is rational if, given her ends (her goals)

Inefficient or Not, Hospitals Are Overcharging International Advances in Economic Research Pub Date : 2022-03-07 Donald Alexander, Jon Neill
A sizable literature related to the efficiency of the U.S. hospital sector has been produced over the past 30 years. Much of this research is based on stochastic frontier analysis. This approach is problematic for a number of reasons. For one, a functional form for a hospital’s cost function must be assumed, and a limited number of forms are tractable. Second, inefficiency is measured as the expectation
