We report on experimental evidence rationalizing the use of heterogeneous agent models. We provide compelling evidence that subjects in laboratory experiments often behave in ways that depart from the rational choice ideal. Further, these subjects' heuristic approaches often differ from one...

A market model is presented, in which firms and consumers differ in their market understanding. In the model, rational firms compete in probability distributions over consumers with bounded ability to grasp statistical data. Increased competition causes firms to increase their effort to...
