It has hard to point to one substantial area of economic research into dynamic problems which has not changed as a result of the publication of Muth's works at GSIA. Almost paradoxically, the only viable alternative to Muth's hypothesis is the research agenda put forward by Herb Simon and his concept of "bounded rationality".
