question 87

Multiple Choice

Based on the assumptions of traditional economic theory,

• B) we construct a theory of consumer and producer behavior described by demand and cost curves, which assume that consumers and producers make decisions based on all available information.
• C) we build theories that work, even when we assume a lack of perfect knowledge on the part of consumers and producers.
• D) we build demand and cost curves that may behave in unpredictable ways, because we can't assume that consumers and producers make decisions based on all available information.
