The Herbert A. Simon Society brings together some of the most important economists critical of contemporary economic models and aims at reformulating economic theory by starting with the many non-neoclassical directions that have been developed in recent years.This conference is focused on three themes that were identified as particularly relevant in order to apply Simon’s ideas in the contemporary debate: duality of mind, creativity, critics and alternative paradigms to rational expectations.
