| 抄録: | We discuss the situations in which an agent makes a decision by maximizing incorrect utility. In our setting, an agent chooses an alternative that maximizes utility function parameterized by the state variables with incorrect estimates. However, the agent’s evaluation of the consequences of the choice ex-post is represented by the utility function parameterized by the correct state variables, which we call potential utility. We present a simple model to analyze the welfare loss caused by the incorrect choice. As an application, we analyze the problem of education (or giving information). An authority aims to support an agent to make a correct choice by giving her correct information. We carry out comparative statics on the solution of the government’s decision problem to gain some insights regarding the effectiveness of environment education. Our framework enables comparison of utility the agent feels before and after the education. Thereby, our framework helps the design of an education system that makes the agent happier most effectively. We carry out comparative statics on the solution of the government’s decision problem to gain some insights regarding the effectiveness of environment education. |
