Empirical models? That's not very Serious.

but I suppose they model all the entities as rational actors with perfect knowledge... That would be the Serious thing to do.

Re: I'm shocked! (none / 1)

You can make Serious models with imperfect information, as long as you don't try to do it as an undergrad. You need to be properly indoctrinated what model behaviour to aim for, or you might end up modelling imperfect information in a manner that is too close to how it actually operates in the real world.
