TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present problems with models used to investigate the economics of the household and propose a new home economics model to provide a basis for rational decision-making in the allocation of time, appropriateness of the family as the relevant unit, and importance of life-cycle changes.
Abstract: Problems with models used to investigate the economics of the household are described. Special emphasis is given to the issue of rationality in the allocation of time, the appropriateness of the family as the relevant unit, and the importance of life-cycle changes. Contributions economists can make using the “new home economics” to provide a basis for rational decision making are discussed.

TL;DR: The economic theory of rationality promises to equal mathematical logic in its importance for the mechanization of reasoning as discussed by the authors, and the growing literature on how the basic notions of probability, utility, and rational choice, coupled with practical limitations on information and resources, influence the design and analysis of reasoning and representation systems.
Abstract: The economic theory of rationality promises to equal mathematical logic in its importance for the mechanization of reasoning. We survey the growing literature on how the basic notions of probability, utility, and rational choice, coupled with practical limitations on information and resources, influence the design and analysis of reasoning and representation systems.

TL;DR: The Limits of Transparency: Ambiguity and the History of International Finance by Jacqueline Best as discussed by the authors is a seminal work in the field of international political economy (IPE) and has been widely cited in the literature.
Abstract: The Limits of Transparency: Ambiguity and the History of International Finance. By Jacqueline Best. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2005. 240p. $37.50. While social constructivism has moved into the mainstream of international relations theory, informing scholarship in the subfields of security studies and international organization, its application and status in international political economy (IPE) has lagged behind. From the articles in the highest-status political science journals to the works on graduate syllabi across the major research universities, the study of IPE has been dominated by a single view of markets, drawn from neoclassical economics, premised on a narrow view of rationality, and rooted in materialist foundations.

TL;DR: As an exemplar of modern penality's "normalizing sector" (Garland, 1985), probation is deeply implicated in the purported shift towards a new or post-modern penal rationality with risk managemen.
