A social-status rationale for repugnant market transactions 令人反感的市场交易的社会地位理由

Individuals often deem market transactions in sex, human organs and surrogacy, among others, repugnant. Repugnance norms can be explained by appealing to social-status concerns. We study an exchange economy in which agents abhor consumption dominance: one’s social status is compromised if one consumes less of every good than someone else does. Dominance may be forestalled by partitioning goods into submarkets and then invoking the repugnance norms that proscribe trade across these submarkets. Dominance may also be forestalled if individuals strategically ‘overconsume’ some goods, interpreted as emergent status goods. When equilibria are multiple, there is scope for welfare-enhancing policies that coordinate on status goods.
个人通常认为性、人体器官和代孕等方面的市场交易令人反感。反感规范可以通过关注社会地位来解释。我们研究了一种交换经济,在这种经济中,代理人厌恶消费主导地位:如果一个人消费的每件商品都比其他人少,那么他的社会地位就会受到损害。通过将商品划分为子市场,然后援引禁止在这些子市场之间进行贸易的反感规范,可以阻止主导地位。如果个人战略性地“过度消费”某些商品(被解释为紧急状态商品),主导地位也可能被阻止。当均衡是多重的时,就存在着在地位商品上进行协调的福利提升政策的空间。

Market nudges and autonomy 市场推动和自主性

Behavioural techniques or ‘nudges’ can be used for various purposes. In this paper, we shift the focus from government nudges to nudges used by for-profit market agents. We argue that potential worries about nudges circumventing the deliberative capacities or diminishing the control of targeted agents are greater when it comes to market nudges, given that these (1) are not constrained by the principles that regulate government nudges (mildness, sensitivity to people’s interests and public justifiability) and (2) are often ‘stacked’ – they come in great numbers that overwhelm agents. In addition, we respond to possible objections and derive several policy suggestions.
行为技巧或“轻推”可以用于各种目的。在本文中,我们将重点从政府推动转向营利性市场主体使用的推动。我们认为,当涉及到市场推动时,对推动绕过审议能力或削弱目标代理人控制的潜在担忧更大,因为这些(1)不受规范政府推动的原则(温和、对人民利益的敏感和公共正当性)的约束,(2)往往是“堆积”的——它们大量出现,压倒了代理人。此外,我们对可能的反对意见作出回应,并得出若干政策建议。

Preferences versus opportunities: on the conceptual foundations of normative welfare economics 偏好与机会:基于规范福利经济学的概念基础
IF 1.2 2区 哲学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2022-12-27 DOI: 10.1017/s0266267122000323

Normative welfare economics commonly assumes that individuals’ preferences can be reliably inferred from their choices and relies on preference satisfaction as the normative standard for welfare. In recent years, several authors have criticized welfare economists’ reliance on preference satisfaction as the normative standard for welfare and have advocated grounding normative welfare economics on opportunities rather than preferences. In this paper, I argue that although preference-based approaches to normative welfare economics face significant conceptual and practical challenges, opportunity-based approaches fail to provide a more reliable and informative foundation for normative welfare economics than preference-based approaches. I then identify and rebut various influential calls to ground normative welfare economics on opportunities rather than preferences to support my qualified defence of preference-based approaches.
规范福利经济学通常假设个人的偏好可以从他们的选择中可靠地推断出来,并依赖于偏好满意度作为福利的规范标准。近年来,一些作者批评福利经济学家依赖偏好满意度作为福利的规范标准,并主张将规范福利经济学建立在机会而非偏好的基础上。在本文中,我认为,尽管基于偏好的规范福利经济学方法面临着重大的概念和实践挑战,但与基于偏好的方法相比,基于机会的方法未能为规范福利经济学提供更可靠和更翔实的基础。然后,我识别并反驳了各种有影响力的呼吁,即将规范性福利经济学建立在机会而非偏好的基础上,以支持我对基于偏好的方法的合格辩护。

One of my first encounters with a work of philosophy was John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism. I found it greatly inspiring. Mill’s utilitarianism involves an attention to those suffering, but has a positive outlook at the same time. When I developed in my studies, I was quite surprised to find that, while this may be changing these days, in both economics and philosophy, utilitarianism has few adherents. Interestingly, this is mostly for different reasons. Following Robbins (1932), economists abandoned the idea that we should think of the human good in terms of psychological properties, such as pleasure or happiness. Measuring these properties appeared impossible, or at least, not sufficiently scientific. Philosophers, on the other hand, were concerned about the reduction of all value to happiness, and to pleasure in particular. Robert Nozick’s (1974) wellknown thought experiment of the experience machine – a machine in which someone could have the experience of doing wonderful things without actually doing them – convinced many that pleasure (and happiness) is not all that there is to living a good life. Moreover, should we really aim to maximize welfare? A racist society built on the labours of a small racial minority could be maximizing its overall happiness, but is surely morally abhorrent. Or so the argument typically goes. Defenders of utilitarianism have become rare, in both fields, though there are of course influential utilitarian philosophers, such as Peter Singer, and various common practices in applied cost–benefit analysis keep an apparent utilitarian flare. Now utilitarianism is back. In particular the effective altruism movement has attracted much enthusiasm, evidenced by the Time Magazine cover of August 2022 for instance, dedicated to the effective altruists. The relationship between effective altruism and utilitarianism, and utilitarian philosopher Peter Singer in particular, is strong. In addition to this, we also find a new enthusiasm for research on happiness in economics and psychology, a research programme that often takes on a utilitarian flavour (Kahneman et al. 1997; Veenhoven 2004). Kew-Kwang Ng, however, was a utilitarian before it was cool. He is among the small group of thinkers who have been resisting the forceful pushes against utilitarianism for decades. Ng has, throughout his career, played a remarkable role in a variety of discussions about many different facets of utilitarianism. Writing in both economics and philosophy journals, he has contributed to utilitarian thought, and defended it unapologetically. Happiness – Concept, Measurement, and Promotion is a concise, but systematic defence of utilitarianism, and an insightful discussion of its implications. It contains 16 chapters that can,
我第一次接触哲学著作是约翰·斯图亚特·密尔的《功利主义》。我发现它非常鼓舞人心。密尔的功利主义既关注人们的苦难,又具有积极的前景。当我深入研究时,我很惊讶地发现,尽管现在这种情况可能正在改变,但在经济学和哲学领域,功利主义几乎没有追随者。有趣的是,这主要是出于不同的原因。在罗宾斯(1932)之后,经济学家放弃了我们应该从心理属性(如快乐或幸福)的角度来考虑人类善的观点。测量这些特性似乎是不可能的,或者至少不够科学。另一方面,哲学家们关心的是将一切价值归结为幸福,尤其是快乐。罗伯特·诺齐克(1974)著名的“体验机”思想实验——在这个机器里,一个人可以在没有真正做过的情况下体验做美好的事情——让许多人相信,快乐(和幸福)并不是美好生活的全部。此外,我们真的应该以福利最大化为目标吗?一个建立在少数种族劳动基础上的种族主义社会可能会最大化其整体幸福感,但在道德上肯定是令人憎恶的。这种观点通常是这样的。在这两个领域,功利主义的捍卫者已经变得很少了,尽管当然有一些有影响力的功利主义哲学家,比如彼得·辛格(Peter Singer),以及应用成本效益分析的各种常见实践,都保持着明显的功利主义光芒。现在功利主义又回来了。特别是有效利他主义运动吸引了很多热情,例如,《时代》杂志2022年8月的封面就专门介绍了有效利他主义者。有效利他主义与功利主义,尤其是功利主义哲学家彼得·辛格之间的关系是密切的。除此之外,我们还发现经济学和心理学对幸福研究的新热情,这是一个经常带有功利主义色彩的研究项目(Kahneman et al. 1997;范荷文2004)。然而,吴基光(Kew-Kwang Ng)在它变得很酷之前,就是一个功利主义者。他是几十年来一直抵制功利主义的少数思想家之一。在他的整个职业生涯中,吴恩达在关于功利主义的许多不同方面的各种讨论中发挥了显著的作用。他在经济学和哲学期刊上发表文章,为功利主义思想做出了贡献,并毫无歉意地为其辩护。幸福-概念,测量和促进是一个简洁,但系统的辩护功利主义,并有深刻的讨论其含义。它包含16个章节,

Is luxury tax justifiable? 奢侈税合理吗?

This paper examines whether, and if so when, luxury tax is justifiable. After a characterization of luxury tax, I critically examine several arguments that have been or can be made in defence of luxury tax, including Ng’s diamond good argument and a variation of Frank’s positional good argument. I put forward an alternative, expressive argument, according to which luxury tax can help to create and sustain social norms that discourage conspicuous luxury consumption and display of wealth. I explain several ways in which luxury tax fails to achieve the expressive goal and brings about unintended consequences.
本文考察了奢侈税是否合理,如果合理,何时合理。在描述了奢侈税之后,我批判性地审视了几个已经或可以为奢侈税辩护的论点,包括吴恩达的钻石好论点和弗兰克的位置好论点的变体。我提出了另一种富有表现力的观点,根据这种观点,奢侈品税可以帮助建立和维持阻止炫耀性奢侈品消费和炫富的社会规范。我解释了几种奢侈税未能实现表达目标并带来意想不到后果的方式。

Impartiality and democracy: an objection to political exchange 公正与民主:反对政治交流

Matthew T. Jeffers
The philosophical debate concerning political exchange has largely been confined to debating the desirability of vote trading; where individuals can sell their votes or buy votes from others. However, I show that the vote credit systems prevalent in public choice theory entirely avoid the common objections to political exchange that afflict vote trading proposals. Namely, vote credit systems avoid equality concerns and inalienability concerns. I offer an alternative critique to formal mechanisms that encourage political exchange by drawing on the role that impartiality and impartial moral judgements play in democratic and electoral institutions.
关于政治交换的哲学辩论在很大程度上局限于辩论投票交易的可取性;在那里,个人可以出售自己的选票或从别人那里购买选票。然而,我表明,在公共选择理论中普遍存在的投票信用制度完全避免了政治交换中常见的反对意见,这种反对意见困扰着投票交易提案。即,投票信用制度避免了平等问题和不可剥夺性问题。我对鼓励政治交流的正式机制提出了另一种批评,这种机制利用了公正和公正的道德判断在民主和选举机构中所起的作用。

Team reasoning cannot be viewed as a payoff transformation 团队推理不能被视为回报转换

In a recent article in this journal, Duijf claims to have proved that team reasoning can be viewed as a payoff transformation. His formalization mimics team reasoning but ignores its essential agency switch. The possibility of such a payoff transformation was never in doubt, does not imply that team reasoning can be viewed as a payoff transformation, and makes no sense in a game in which payoffs represent players’ utilities. A theorem is proved here that a simpler and more intuitive payoff transformation can mimic any theory that predicts what strategies players will choose in a well-defined game.
在本杂志最近的一篇文章中,Duijf声称已经证明了团队推理可以被视为一种回报转换。他的形式化模仿了团队推理,但忽略了其重要的代理转换。这种收益转换的可能性从未被怀疑,这并不意味着团队推理可以被视为收益转换,在收益代表玩家效用的游戏中也没有意义。这里证明了一个定理,即一个更简单、更直观的回报转换可以模仿任何预测玩家在定义明确的游戏中会选择什么策略的理论。

The Welfare Diffusion Objection to Prioritarianism 福利扩散反对先验主义
IF 1.2 2区 哲学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2022-11-14 DOI: 10.1017/s0266267122000190
Tomi Francis
According to the Welfare Diffusion Objection, we should reject Prioritarianism because it implies the ‘desirability of welfare diffusion’: the claim that it can be better for there to be less total wellbeing spread thinly between a larger total number of people, rather than for there to be more total wellbeing, spread more generously between a smaller total number of people. I argue that while Prioritarianism does not directly imply the desirability of welfare diffusion, Prioritarians are nevertheless implicitly committed to certain principles for comparing different-number populations which, together with the Prioritarian same-person axiology, imply the desirability of welfare diffusion.
根据福利扩散反对意见,我们应该拒绝先验主义,因为它暗示了“福利扩散的可取性”:即在更大的总人数之间分散更少的总福利比在更小的总人数中更慷慨地分散更多的总福利更好。我认为,虽然Prioritarianism并没有直接暗示福利扩散的可取性,但Prioritarians仍然隐含地致力于比较不同数量人群的某些原则,这些原则与Prioritarian的同一人价值论一起暗示了福利扩散的必要性。

Revisiting variable-value population principles 重新审视变值人口原则

We examine a general class of variable-value population principles. Our particular focus is on the extent to which such principles can avoid the repugnant and sadistic conclusions. We show that if a mild limit property is imposed, avoidance of the repugnant conclusion implies the sadistic conclusion. This result generalizes earlier observations by showing that they apply to a substantially larger class of principles. Our second theorem states that, under the limit property, the axiom of mere addition also conflicts with avoidance of the repugnant conclusion. This result is a consequence of a similar observation that appears in the earlier literature.
我们研究了一类一般的变值总体原理。我们特别关注的是这些原则能在多大程度上避免令人反感和虐待的结论。我们表明,如果施加温和的限制性质,避免令人反感的结论意味着虐待性的结论。这一结果推广了早期的观察结果,表明它们适用于实质上更大的一类原理。我们的第二个定理指出,在极限性质下,单纯加法公理也与回避排斥结论相冲突。这一结果是早期文献中出现的类似观察的结果。
