Extensive empirical research in behavioral economics, cognitive psychology, and decision sciences demonstrates that human decision-making consistently departs from classical economic rationality in ways predicted by bounded rationality models.
The retrieved papers consistently support the claim that empirical evidence backs the model of bounded rationality. Multiple studies and reviews (such as papers 2, 6, 9, and 10) highlight how behavioral economics, prospect theory, and cognitive psychology provide robust empirical backing for bounded rationality, heuristics, and biases in human decision-making across various domains. No papers refute the claim.
