We all know many activities, occasions, processes, and relations are of the Georgescu-Roegen-Keynesian unpredictability type. Neither the economist nor the deciding person can completely pre-specify how people will decide when facing unpredictabilities and ambiguities that are ontological facts of the way the world works.
They choose to pretend that the world looks like a nail, and pretend that unpredictability can be decreased to run the risk of.
from Lars Syll
It might be argued … that the wagering ratio and credibility are substitutable in the very same sense in which 2 products are: less bread but more meat may leave the customer too off as previously. If this were, then plainly expectation might be lowered to a unidimensional principle … However, the substitutability of customers products rests upon the implied assumption that all commodities include something– called energy– in a greater or less degree; substitutability is for that reason another name for payment of energy. The crucial question in expectation then is whether trustworthiness and betting quotient have a typical essence so that payment of this common essence would make good sense.
Simply like Keynes underlined with his principle of weight of argument, Georgescu-Roegen, with his similar concept of trustworthiness, underscores the impossibility of minimizing uncertainty to risk and consequently having the ability to explain choice under uncertainty with a unidimensional probability idea.
In modern macroeconomics– Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium, New Synthesis, New Classical, and New Keynesian– variables are dealt with as if drawn from a recognized data-generating process that unfolds over time and on which we, therefore, have access to loads of historical time-series. If we do not presume that we understand the data-generating procedure– if we do not have the real design– the entire edifice collapses.
Modern macroeconomics clearly did not prepare for the enormity of the issues that uncontrolled effective financial markets created. Why? Since it constructs on the misconception of us knowing the data-generating process and that we can describe the variables of our developing economies as drawn from an urn including stochastic likelihood functions with recognized ways and variances.
This resembles saying that you are going on a holiday trip and that you know that the chance of the weather being sunny is at least 30% and that this is enough for you to select bringing along your sunglasses or not. You are expected to be able to determine the anticipated energy based upon the provided likelihood of warm weather condition and make an easy decision of either or. Unpredictability is reduced to risk.
Typically we just do not know. According to one model the chance of warm weather is maybe somewhere around 10% and according to another– equally good– model the possibility is maybe somewhere around 40%. There are no given likelihood circulations that we can appeal to.
In the end, this is what it all boils down to. We all understand numerous activities, procedures, relations, and events are of the Georgescu-Roegen-Keynesian uncertainty type. The data do not unquestionably single out one choice as the only reasonable one. When facing unpredictabilities and uncertainties that are ontological truths of the method the world works, neither the financial expert nor the deciding person can fully pre-specify how people will choose.
They choose to pretend that the world looks like a nail, and pretend that uncertainty can be lowered to run the risk of. They construct their mathematical models on that assumption.
How much better– just how much bigger possibility that we do not lull us into the soothing idea that we understand whatever which everything is quantifiable and we have whatever under control– if rather, we could simply admit that we often simply do not know and that we need to deal with that unpredictability in addition to it goes.
Deceiving individuals into believing that one can deal with an unknown financial future in a manner comparable to dipping into the live roulette wheels, is a sure dish for only one thing– economic disaster.
