Mr. Taurimas Valys, expert in Pension and Mutual Funds in Lithuania, with many years of experience in the sector, and Ph. D. Candidate in Vilnius Univerity, gave a seminar in my classroom. After the lecture a questionnaire was distributed among the students. I want to thank you for the attendance. It will be rewarded in the final evaluation.
This blog constitutes a didactic tool for my students. The blog contains posts that come from different sources. Also it incorporates some of my lectures and personal comments on Economics, European Integration and didactics of the Social Sciences.
I also teach Spanish y mi blog también habla español. I include some exercises and other material for my students of Spanish language

The rational consumer
One day in the morning I got up and I found a mouse in my kitchen. And since then I can not sleep. The mouse eats my cheese, the flowers of my cactus and the seeds of my sunflower. I have found the perfect rational consumer. Like in the handbooks of Economics. The human being probably is less rational and more complex in the decision making process than my mouse.
Only mice are rational consumers and suppliers
