Preference Change and Interpersonal Comparisons of Welfare
In Serena Olsaretti (ed.), Preferences and Well-Being. Cambridge University Press. pp. 265-79 (2006)
Abstract
Can a preference-based conception of welfare accommodate changes in people's preferences? I argue that the fact that people care about which preferences they have, and the fact that people can change their preferences about which preferences it is good for them to have, together undermine the case for accepting a preference-satisfaction conception of welfare.Author's Profile
