homo economicus
homo economicus, often referred to as the "economic man," is a theoretical construct in classical and neoclassical economics. under this model, individuals are assumed to:
– act rationally and consistently to maximize their self-interest (or "utility").
– have complete or near-complete information about available choices.
– weigh costs and benefits to make optimal decisions.
