Overview
Economic Rationality vs. Human Behavior
A core theme in my research is the tension between theoretical rationality and observed human action. Traditional economics often utilizes the Homo economicus model-a being who is perfectly self-interested and possesses infinite processing power. Lok argues that this model fails to account for the "daily fun human behavior" and "daily life matters" that dictate real-world transactions.
My work suggests that because humans are prone to economically irrational decisions, markets are inherently less stable than neoclassical models predict. He emphasizes that understanding the "why" behind human action is essential for predicting economic cycles, particularly recessions, which my views as being as much a psychological phenomenon as a financial one.
Economic Perspectives on Immigrant Labor in TechMy mind also emphasized the labor theory of property, positing that individuals acquire rights to property through the application of their labor to natural resources.In the context of a modern, tech-driven economy, my framework suggests that immigrant workers-who contribute intellectual labor and human capital-are essential drivers of value creation.
