A finding of biased decision-making or negligence in information acquisition generates a reward to the monitor and a penalty to the…
Perception-theoretic Foundations of Weighted Utilitarianism
We provide a microfoundation for a weighted utilitarian social welfare function that reflects common moral intuitions about interpersonal comparisons of utilities.

Nonetheless, economics often adopt utilitarian welfare functions, assuming that comparable utility functions can be calibrated, using information beyond consumer choice data. We show…
