    Foundations of Rational Choice Under Risk.Paul Anand - 1993 - Oxford University Press.
    Describes and evaluates a number of existing criticisms of the formal theory of rationality and subjective expected utility theory. The author argues that rationality is not a behavioural entity, but rather has to do with the relation between an agent's preferences and his or her behaviour.

    An fMRI investigation of moral cognition in healthcare decision making.Timothy L. Hodgson, Lisa J. Smith, Paul Anand & Abdelmalek Benattayallah - 2015 - Journal of Neuroscience Psychology and Economics 8 (2):116-133.
    This study used fMRI to investigate the neural substrates of moral cognition in health resource allocation decision problems. In particular, it investigated the cognitive and emotional processes that underpin utilitarian approaches to health care rationing such as Quality Adjusted Life Years. Participants viewed hypothetical medical and nonmedical resource allocation scenarios which described equal or unequal allocation of resources to different groups. In addition, participants were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments in which they either did or did not receive advanced (...)

    QALYS and the integration of claims in health care rationing.Paul Anand - 1999 - Health Care Analysis 7 (3):239-253.
    The paper argues against the polarisation of the health economics literature into pro- and anti-QALY camps. In particular, we suggest that a crucial distinction should be made between the QALY measure as a metric of health, and QALY maximisation as an applied social choice rule. We argue against the rule but for the measure and that the appropriate conceptualisation of health-care rationing decisions should see the main task as the integration of competing and possibly incommensurable normative claim types. We identify (...)

    Decisions vs. Willingness-to-Pay in Social Choice.Paul Anand - 2000 - Environmental Values 9 (4):419-430.
    The paper compares use of willingness to pay values with multi-attribute utility as ways of modelling social choice problems in the environment. A number of reasons for moving away from willingness to pay are reviewed. The view proposed is that social choice is about the integration of competing claim types (utilities, rights, social contracts and beliefs about due process). However, willingness to pay is only indirectly related to the first of these and assumes an Arrovian approach, namely one in which (...)

    Multidimensional welfare: do groups vary in their priorities and behaviours?Luna Bellani, Graham Hunter & Paul Anand - unknown
    In the context of multidimensional measures of well-being, a key question for policy is whether particular groups have differing priorities and are therefore likely to react differently to given economic or social shocks. We explore this issue by presenting the results of two related analyses that suggest positive answers on both counts. First, we apply reference class weights to unique data on adult capabilities in the UK and show that relative weights vary across some groupings. Furthermore, in some cases, deprivation (...)
