Chères et chers collègues, J’ai le plaisir de vous inviter à la quatrième séance de mon séminaire de recherche, "Les enjeux contemporains du rapport positif/normatif en économie et philosophie", au Collège International de Philosophie, organisé avec le soutien du Centre Walras-Pareto de l’Université de Lausanne.
Lors de cette séance, qui aura lieu *le vendredi 21 janvier de 18h à 20h (l'heure de Paris) sur Zoom*, j’aurai le grand plaisir d’accueillir *Johanna Thoma **(London School of Economics)*. Son intervention porte sur "The Positive and the Normative in Behavioural Welfare Economics". Voici le résumé de son intervention : *The Positive and the Normative in **Behavioural Welfare Economics*: Behavioural economics has taught us that human agents don't always display consistent, context-independent and stable preferences in their choice behaviour. Many behavioural economists believe, however, that perfect rationality would require choice in accordance with such consistent, context-independent and stable preferences. Most welfare economics, moreover, is built on the basis of agents being ascribed such preferences. Methods have thus been proposed to 'purify' observed choices and preferences to arrive at a preference relation that fulfils the requirements of perfect rationality. In accordance with the anti-paternalist ideal of contemporary welfare economics, the ambition for such preference purification is that it uncovers a preference relation that provides a true measure of an agent's subjective interest. This talk will discuss two obstacles for such 'preference purification' in behavioural welfare economics. Both are obstacles that arise *even if *we grant that perfect rationality requires stability, context-independence and adherence to the axioms of orthodox expected utility theory. The first is indeterminacy in which of a number of consistent preference relations tracks an agent's subjective interests, stemming from vagueness in her ultimate goals. And the second is the possibility of non-neutral attitudes to risk in contexts of uncertainty.
