Abstract:

We characterize rational actions of the additive group on algebraic varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero in terms of a suitable integrability property of their associated velocity vector fields. This extends the classical correspondence between regular actions of the additive group on affine algebraic varieties and the so-called locally nilpotent derivations of their coordinate rings. Our results lead in particular to a complete characterization of regular additive group actions on semi-affine varieties in terms of their associated vector fields. Among other applications, we review properties of the rational counterpart of the Makar–Limanov invariant for affine varieties and describe the structure of rational homogeneous additive group actions on toric varieties.

Abstract:

Abstract We study how long-lived rational agents learn from repeatedly observing a private signal and each others’ actions. With normal signals, a group of any size learns more slowly than just four agents who directly observe each others’ private signals in each period. Similar results apply to general signal structures. We identify rational groupthink—in which agents ignore their private signals and choose the same action for long periods of time—as the cause of this failure of information aggregation.

Abstract:

We can see that people's action is based on what motives them that is rational or even irrational. One of the examples of the rational action in real life is when a person decides to become a migrant worker in overseas to improve the economy of their family while the irrational when one destroys stuff due to anger. That kind of action is called as social action. In literature, social action is depicted in one character's behavior whether it is related or not related to the goal of the story. The purpose of this study is to find out the depiction of social action forms of the main character and how he achieves his goal based on his social action in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag novel, whose name is Edward Kenway. This research uses one of the theories in sociology of literaturre sociology of literature from Max Weber which is social action. The methodology used is literary criticism method. Then, the data is collected by read and note the relevant data with the theory and research problems. After doing analysis, the result of this research are: (1) The form of social actions in Edward Kenway are instrumental action which has ten instrumental rational actions, four value rational actions, eight affectual action, and two traditional actions

Abstract:

In the sociology of literature, social action is interpreted as a form of individual behavior to achieve a goal, without social action, social relations will be passive. This study aims to identify and describe the forms of social action in the characters in the novel We Go Today by Ziggy Zezsyazeoviennazabrizkie. This study uses a qualitative method with descriptive analysis, the primary data sources are dialogues and author's narration in the novel We Go Today. Collecting data using the read and sign method, then data analysis through the transcription stage and then data reduction to produce some data that is relevant to Max Weber's theory. The results of this study found 12 forms of social action. 3 in the form of instrumental rational actions, 5 traditional non-rational actions, and 4 affective rational actions.

AbstractThe quotient field of the ring of invariants of a rational Ga action on Cn is shown to be ruled. As a consequence, all rational Ga actions on C4 are rationally triangulable. Moreover, if an arbitrary rational Ga action on Cn is doubled to an action of Ga × Ga on C2n, then the doubled action is rationally triangulable.

Abstract:

The article defines and reveals the essence of the following typical features of the process of stopping group illegal actions of convicts in penal institutions by the forces of the National Guard of Ukraine: specificity of the environment, thorough preparation, coordination with other services, ensuring security and minimizing consequences. The main limitations that must be taken into account during research are formulated: legality, proportionality, short duration, preservation of life and health, attentiveness and caution, protection of rights and freedoms. It is shown that a number of assumptions were taken into account during the construction of the methodology for determining the rational course of action of the National Guard of Ukraine to stop group illegal actions of convicts in penal institutions. The essence and main stages of the methodology for determining the rational method of action of the National Guard of Ukraine to stop group illegal actions of convicts in penal institutions are given. The methodology for determining the rational method of action of the National Guard of Ukraine to stop group illegal actions of convicts in penal institutions involves the implementation of five main stages. It is illustrated that the analytical basis of the methodology proposed in the article for determining the rational method of actions of the National Guard of Ukraine to stop group illegal actions of convicts in penal institutions is a discrete-continuous stochastic model of the actions of the National Guard of Ukraine to stop group illegal actions of convicts in penal institutions. This discrete-continuous stochastic model is implemented programmatically on the basis of a standard subroutine for the numerical integration of Kolmogorov-Chapman differential equations written in the ASNA 2000 software environment. The formalization of the methodology proposed in the article for determining the rational method of action of the National Guard of Ukraine to stop group illegal actions of convicts in penal institutions can be implemented on the basis of analytical expressions to determine its effectiveness indicators.

Abstract:

Earthquakes not only affect material losses, but also affect the socioeconomic lives of widowed women forcing them to act rationally to survive and avoid the threat of poverty. The study aims to analyze the impact of earthquake natural disasters with rational actions of widowed women after the earthquake disaster in Palu City. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out through limited observation, in-depth interviews, FGDs and document studies so as to obtain primary and secondary data. Informants were purposively selected as many as 6 people. The data is analyzed interpretively. The validity of the data is done through triangulation. The results showed that in the face of poor post-disaster socioeconomic conditions, there are five models of strategies or rational survival actions carried out by widowed women, namely, borrowing business capital, building an entrepreneurial career, finding a new job, becoming a daily freelancer, and getting married. The forms of rational action carried out by widows are instrumental rational actions, value rationality actions and effective rational actions. It suggested the importance of socio-economic empowerment of widowed women appropriately and sustainably.

Abstract:

Rational agents, it seems, are capable of adopting intentions which make actions rational and which they would otherwise have no reason to do, or even have reason not to do. Howard Sobel imagines the following, uncontroversial but somewhat contrived, example: ‘I'll give you a nickel if you now intend to hand me the red [pencil] in five minutes. I'll give you the nickel now. I don't care if you do hand me the red one when the five minutes are up. The nickel will be yours whether or not you do that then, if you manage now to intend to do it then’ (Sobel, 242-3, emphasis in original).

Abstract:

This research explores the various forms of social action exhibited by the protagonist, Ezio Auditore, in Oliver Bowden's novel Assassin's Creed: Renaissance. Drawing from Max Weber's theory of social action, the research categorizes these actions into four types: instrumental rationality action, value-oriented action, affective action, and traditional action. The data for the study consists of sentences, paragraphs, and dialogues describing Ezio Auditore's social actions in the novel, analyzed using a descriptive method with a sociology of literature approach. The data analysis reveals the frequency of each action type, with affective action being the most prevalent by ten data, followed by value rational action with eight data, rational instrumental action with five data, and traditional action with two data. Additionally, the study identifies four main goals pursued by the character: seeking revenge, uncovering conspiracies, eradicating the Templar order, and protecting Florence. The predominant use of rational instrumental action and the lower occurrence of value rational action in pursuing these goals are highlighted. These findings offer insights into Ezio Auditore's motivations and behaviors, shedding light on the social dynamics depicted in the novel.

Abstract:

A two-person general-sum repeated game with vanishing actions is an infinitely repeated game where the players face the following restrictions. Each action must be used by player k ∈ {1,2} at least once in every rk ∈ ℕ consecutive stages, otherwise the action vanishes for the remaining play. We assume that the players wish to maximize their limiting average rewards over the entire time-horizon. A strategy-pair is jointly convergent if for each action pair a number exists to which the relative frequency with which this action pair is chosen, converges with probability one. A pair of feasible rewards is called individually rational if each player receives at least the threat-point reward, i.e., the amount which he can guarantee himself regardless of what the opponent does given r1, r2 and the actions available in the long run. In a repeated game with vanishing actions, there may exist multiple threat points which are endogenous to the play. We prove that all individually-rational jointly-convergent pure-strategy rewards can be supported by an equilibrium. Furthermore, each convex combination of individually-rational jointly-convergent pure-strategy rewards, can be supported by an equilibrium for m × n-games provided r1 > m ≥ 2, r2 > n ≥ 2.

Suppose that the cyclic action defined by g is regular and that the normal bundle of the fixed point set F has a g-equivariant complex structure. Let F ⋔ F be the transverse self-intersection of F with itself. If the g-signature Sign(g, M) is a rational integer and n < ϕ(m), then there exists a choice of orientations such that Sign(g, M) = Sign F = Sign(F ⋔ F).

Abstract:

AbstractLet R be an affine PI-algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ and let G be an affine algebraic $\mathbb{k}$-group that acts rationally by algebra automorphisms on R. For R prime and G a torus, we show that R has only finitely many G-prime ideals if and only if the action of G on the centre of R is multiplicity free. This extends a standard result on affine algebraic G-varieties. Under suitable hypotheses on R and G, we also prove a PI-version of a well-known result on spherical varieties and a version of Schelter's catenarity theorem for G-primes.

Abstract:

In this paper, I examine how an agent can cause and rationally guide his actions. A common approach explains an action by the agent's motives which cause and rationalize it. Given the fact that an agent does not always identify with the motives that propel him to action, the common approach does not account for an agent's autonomy in his acting. Consequently, I focus on the question whether an agent can rationally guide his action such that he controls his action by his own causal powers without being just moved to it. In this endeavour, Harry Frankfurt's more recent work in which he tries to specify recalcitrant dispositions like "caring" as conditions of autonomy, and hence as conditions of an action's rational guidance, will serve me as a case in point.

Abstract:

AbstractRational explanation of action out of emotion faces a number of challenges. The Wrong Explanation Challenge says that explaining action out of emotion by reference to a purpose rather than an emotion gets it wrong. The Redundancy Challenge says that if explanation of an action by reference to emotion is sufficient then rational explanation is redundant. And the No Further Justification Challenge says that there is no more to say, at the level of rational explanation, about why people act as they do out of a particular emotion. Furthermore, even if these challenges can be addressed, there is a Problem of Expressive Action, since many actions out of emotion seem unpromising candidates for being guided by normative practical reasons of the prudential, instrumental, deontic or consequentialist sort. In response, I argue that many actions out of emotions should be understood as expressive actions guided by the agent's conception of normative practical reasons: specifically, their conception of expressive reasons.

This reserach aims to find out the anomalous phenomenon in the election of village heads in Kamal village, West Pemulutan District, Ogan Ilir Regency. The problem focuses on anomalies in the election of village heads in Kamal village, West Pemulutan District, Ogan Ilir Regency. In order to approach this problem, social action theory by Max Weber is used as a reference because this theory is able to analyze actions such as what are the driving factors for anomalies in village head elections. Data was collected through documentation and interviews and analyzed qualitatively. This study concludes that the anomaly in the election of village heads in Kamal village, West Pemulutan District, Ogan Ilir Regency, is due to several social actions. The first is instrumental rational action, in the form of strategies used by each candidate for village head, such as conducting outreach to the community and putting up banners. Second, value-oriented rational actions, such as creating a vision and mission. Third, traditional actions in the form of identity politics. Fourth, namely affective actions, such as issues that develop in village community

No obstante, en su alzamiento, el agustino no se percató de lo racional que fue su proceder a través de las acciones tomadas para impulsar su reforma, dejando ver que, por encima de lo religioso, las iniciativas de Lutero, representan una búsqueda de alternativas expresadas racionalmente.

Abstract:

Abstract I argue that, for Aristotle, akratic actions are against one’s general commitment to act in accordance with one’s correct conception of one’s ends overall. Only some akratic actions are also against one’s correct decision to perform a particular action. This thesis explains Aristotle’s views on impetuous akrasia, weak akrasia, stubborn opinionated action and inverse akrasia. In addition, it sheds light on Aristotle’s account of practical rationality. Rational actions are coherent primarily with one’s commitments to one’s conception of the good and only secondarily with one’s decisions to perform a particular action.

Full text

Abstract:

We analyze boundedly rational learning in social networks within binary action environments. We establish how learning outcomes depend on the environment (i.e., informational structure, utility function), the axioms imposed on the updating behavior, and the network structure. In particular, we provide a normative foundation for quasi‐Bayesian updating, where a quasi‐Bayesian agent treats others' actions as if they were based only on their private signal. Quasi‐Bayesian updating induces learning (i.e., convergence to the optimal action for every agent in every connected network) only in highly asymmetric environments. In all other environments, learning fails in networks with a diameter larger than 4. Finally, we consider a richer class of updating behavior that allows for nonstationarity and differential treatment of neighbors' actions depending on their position in the network. We show that within this class there exist updating systems that induce learning for most networks.

This paper provides evidence of rational inattention by experienced professionals in strategic interactions. We add rational inattention to a game of matching pennies with state-dependent payoffs. Unlike the full-information, mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium, payoffs of different actions need not be equated state by state. Moreover, players respond partially to payoff differences, this responsiveness is stronger when attention costs are lower, strategies converge to full-information Nash as stakes increase, and average payoffs across all states are approximately equal across actions. We test these predictions using data on millions of pitches from Major League Baseball, where we observe strategies, payoffs, and proxies for attention costs. (JEL C72, D83, D91, L83, Z21)

Abstract:

AbstractStandard versions of the sociology of rational practice assume justificationist theories of rationality: all rational beliefs are justified and rational individuals do not believe any non-justified statements. This theory appears to some to offer the possiblity of finding “deeper” insights into social behavior: some actions presented by actors as “rational” can, in fact, be explained as non-justified and, therefore, as mere consequences of prestige and/or power conflicts. When, however, it turns out that no theories can be justified, then all theories are irrational. This leads to relativism. The possibility, that we may profitably construct alternative theories of rationality is, in contrast, raised nearly uniquely by fallibilist theories of rationality. In order to take advantage of this, an alternative to the dominant methodological individualist theory of rational action is needed and possible. According to this alternative, rational action consists of problem-solving within institutional contexts without justification. Such a non-relativist sociology of rational practice can be enlightening and useful. Differing institutional contexts offer differing standards of rationality.

Abstract:

Every individual in his social reality always performs social actions, whether in a state of realization or not, these actions continue to run dynamically along with the dynamics of self-situation with the reality of his life. This paper uses narrative literature review to recognize Max Weber's Social Action Theory. It is found that Weber's social action theory originated from the formation of a cultural tradition of thought by his father and mother as well as the formal formation of his learning process and was certainly influenced by the German historian, philosopher, economist and political theorist Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) as well as influenced by Nietzsche (1844-1900). It is found that social action always has motives (Intention) and meaning (Meaning) directed to others and to oneself. Transformational social action can be rational which he calls instrumental rationality and value rationality. As well as being Non-Rational. He called it Affection-oriented social action and Traditional Orientation.

Abstract:

This paper aims to discuss psychological aspect of rational choice theory. The standard version of rational choice rests on a kind of psychology, since it operates with mental states. In standard davidsonian version it is claimed that we explain rational actions by stating proper desires and beliefs that caused the action. We will explore two challenges to the standard version that might be called cultural and naturalistic versions of rational choice. Satz and Ferejohn (1994) challenged standard version by stating that we can provide rational-choice explanations without relying too much on psychological assumptions. They argued in favor of moderate externalism, which should replace thin desire-belief model with thick structuralist conception. According to their model moderate externalism is compatible with realism about psychological states, while at the same time those states need not figure in the best rational choice explanations of actions. The focus of rational choice explanations therefore shifts to non-individual and non-psychological entities, such as firms in explaining economic behavior, parties in explaining functioning of democracy, etc. Although there is a place for psychological states within a moderate externalism, those states are not causally relevant. On Pettit?s account desires and beliefs figure in rational choice explanations merely as ?standby causes?. They explain resilience of certain behavior, not its actual cause. Quite contrary to standard rational choice theory, the programming model (Pettit, 2002) defines the neurophysiological level as more basic in explaining behavior. This means that higher-level psychological states are causally relevant for certain behavior only if certain lower-level neurophysiological producer obtains. In this paper standard rational choice theory will be defended against culturalist and naturalist criticism.

Abstract:

This research article analyses some of the determinants of EU’s promotion of values and interests in Libya through the lens of neoclassical realism. The aim is to see if speeches match actions during the Arab Spring (2011–2014). Despite the normative positioning of the EU and Member State leaders in their discourses the apparent overlapping of Member States’ domestic rationales and EU’s prioritizing of security and business rather than values like human rights and democracy make EU’s relations with the southern neighbourhood complicated. Therefore it is important to understand how EU leaders perceive and assess their interests (both normative and rational interests) and what policies they have implemented in return taking also into account the consistent cooperation and conflicts within the Member States.

Abstract:

The payoff of actions is estimated and the resulting empirical payoff is controlled for in regression analyses to formulate a test of rational expectations in information cascade experiments. We show that the empirical payoff of actions is a function of estimates of choice probabilities and estimates of the information parameters of the game. We introduce an alternative empirical payoff of actions with true values of the information parameters. Our improved measure of the success of social learning confirms that rational expectations are violated, but deviations from rational expectations are statistically significantly smaller than in Weizsacher (2010).

Abstract:

Rational agents and systems consisting of such agents are considered. An agent is an autonomous object that has sources of information about the environment (for example, physical sensors) and affects this environment (for example, with the help of actuators). A rational agent is an agent who, in order to achieve a set goal, is able to act effectively, that is, to use behavioral strategies that are close to optimal. It is assumed that there is a utility function, which is defined on the set of possible sequences of actions of the agent (agents, if a system of agents is considered) and takes values in the set of real numbers. A rational agent acts in such a way as to maximize the utility function. A system of rational agents is a system consisting of rational agents that have a common goal and act in an optimal way to achieve it. Agents act using the optimal (or close to optimal) solution of the extreme problem formulated for the system. The work gives examples of systems consisting of rational agents. The main groups of problems and the corresponding mathematical methods of their solution related to the management of agents and systems of rational agents are determined: cooperation of agents (creation of a system of agents), planning and coordination of actions of agents, search of placement of the system of agents, recognition. Cooperation is necessary when no single agent has sufficient experience, resources, and information to solve a problem, but different agents have the expertise and capabilities to solve different parts of the problem. Planning is the development of a method of action of agents and the entire system in the future depending on the situations that may arise, the choice of an effective method of action, optimal distribution of resources. Coordination is such an organization of the actions of various agents that make up the system, which ensures the efficiency of this system. The tasks of finding the optimal placement of agent system and the task of recognizing the state of the environment are important. Examples of such problems are given and mathematical methods of their solution are indicated.

Full text

Abstract:

We study a principal‐agent framework in which the agent forms beliefs about the principal's project based on a misspecified subjective model. She fits this model to the objective probability distribution to predict output under alternative actions. Misspecifications in the subjective model may lead to biased beliefs. However, under mild restrictions, the agent has correct beliefs on the equilibrium path so that the optimal contract is nonexploitative. This allows for a behavioral version of the informativeness principle: The optimal contract conditions on an additional variable only if it is informative about the action according to the agent's subjective model. We further characterize when misspecifications affect the optimal contract. One implication of this characterization is that the scope for belief biases depends on the agent's job, for example, her position in the hierarchy.

Abstract:

In this paper, I discuss Aristotle's notion of rational powers as presented in his Metaphysics Θ.2 and Θ.5. I argue, first, that his account cannot serve as the model for explaining human rational actions in general. The role of rational powers is restricted to the explanation of arts and their exercises, including the exercises of knowledge through teaching. The exercises of character virtues do not follow the same pattern that is discernible in the exercises of rational powers. Second, I try to show that the similarities between Aristotle's rational powers and powers as they are commonly understood in contemporary accounts of agency, especially regarding their two-sidedness and up-to-usness, are only superficial. Aristotle's rational powers are not genuinely two-sided, and their being up to the agent has nothing to do with the availability of alternative courses of action.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT:The moral of Buridan's ass is that it can sometimes be rational to perform one action rather than another even though one lacks stronger reason to do so. Yet, it is also commonly believed that it cannot ever be rational to believe one proposition rather than another if one lacks stronger reason to do so. This asymmetry has been taken to indicate a deep difference between epistemic and practical rationality. According to the view articulated here, the asymmetry should instead be explained by the difference between rational intentions and rational actions. Thus, it turns out, cases such as Buridan's ass do not indicate an asymmetry between epistemic and practical rationality as such.

Abstract:

AbstractThe notion of minimal self-joinings for conservative nonsingular actions is defined as a restriction on the nature of rational self-joinings. The need to consider rational joinings is demonstrated by showing that any two type II1actions whose Cartesian product is ergodic have type IIIλnonsingular joinings. Lastly, actions of all Krieger types with minimal self-joinings are constructed. Hence these actions are prime and commute only with their powers.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper argues that emotions play a key role in intentional explanation, because they can be conceived as rational. Furthermore, their rationality is specific as they make agents act and react with respect to values and norms. Indeed, emotions have cognitive bases and are reactions to the presence of values and are regimented by epistemic norms that can be constrained by social norms. Additionally, thanks to their action and cognitive tendencies emotions ground rational actions by providing, among other features of rationality, intentions to promote values through norms of action that can also be constrained by social norms. In that sense, emotions seem to bridge the gap between rationality and normativity by articulating the rational detection and production of values related to epistemic and action norms that can be both regimented by social norms.
