The textbook states that the “rational choice paradigm selects the choice with the highest utility through the calculation of subjective expected utility” (McShane, S., Steen, S. & Tasa, K. (2015) In other words it is the probability of utility every time there is an alternative. First, the problem must be identified before choosing the right method to execute the problem. From that point, you develop and evaluate solutions

We do not only gain utility from our consumption. We also gain utility from leisure. Leisure time is the time you spend outside of work. In the similar way of maximizing utility from our purchases, we decide the number of hours of work that will yield us the highest utility, in other words, that makes us the happiest. People make money by giving up some leisure time. The more leisure hours you sacrifice to go to work, the more income you earn. Leisure time or activities are contrasted, implicitly

Behavioral economics is “a method of economic analysis that applies psychological insights into human behavior to explain economic decision-making” according to the Google dictionary. This type of economics concludes that people behave irrationally in certain ways. People are neither entirely rational nor entirely irrational, rather their behavior shows a combination of the two. Contrarily, traditional economics assumes that people will make entirely rational decisions, which allows economists to
