Inferring welfare from inconsistent choices
There is no consensus on how to infer welfare from inconsistent choices. We argue that theorists must be explicit about the values they endorse to characterize individual welfare. After formalizing a set of values and their relationship with context-independent choices, we review the literature and discuss the advantages and drawbacks of each approach. We demonstrate that defining welfare a priori may violate normative individualism, arguably the…
Measuring hearts and minds
From heuristics and biases to agency
Behavioural economics in the heuristics-and-biases tradition of Kahneman and Tversky is best known for explaining how people actually make decisions. However, less attention has been paid to its role in shaping normative decision making, which focuses on evaluating welfare and guiding choices. This article traces the evolving meanings of normativity in behavioural economics from the 1970s to the 2010s, exploring different interpretations of “irra…
Normative and behavioural economics
Behavioural economics has not only posed serious challenges for the empirical adequacy of rational choice, but also for its normative status. Since the 1990s, a large body of work has proposed various normative approaches that account for inconsistent choices. Focusing on the relevant approaches, history, methods, and limits, this article offers a literature review of the relationship between normative and behavioural economics
Identity, ethics and behavioural welfare economics
Multiple selves is a conventional assumption in behavioural welfare economics for modelling intrapersonal well-being. Yet an important question is which self has normative authority over others. In this paper, we advance an argument for what we call the ‘ontological approach’ to personal identity in behavioural welfare economics. According to this approach, ethical questions – such as which preference should be granted normative authority over an…
The view from Manywhere
We propose a methodology for normative evaluation when preferences are context-dependent. We offer a precise definition of context-dependence and formulate a normative criterion of self-determination , according to which one situation is better than another if individuals are aware of more potential contexts of a choice problem. We provide two interpretations of our normative approach: an extension of Sugden’s opportunity criterion and an applica…
Normative Economics Without the Concept of Preference
Over the past two decades, a growing literature of behavioural welfare economics has become the mainstream view of how behavioural economics should reinterpret normative economics. While behavioural economics documents many cases where individuals deviate from well-ordered preferences—such as loss aversion, limited attention, overconfidence or framing effects—there is a consensus in behavioural welfare economics about taking the satisfaction of i…
