Abstract

Multiple selves is a conventional assumption in behavioural welfare economics for modelling intrapersonal well-being. Yet an important question is which self has normative authority over others. In this paper, we advance an argument for what we call the ‘ontological approach’ to personal identity in behavioural welfare economics. According to this approach, ethical questions – such as which preference should be granted normative authority over another – can be informed by the ontological criterion of personal persistence, which aims at determining what it takes for an individual to persist from one time to another.

身份、道德和行为福利经济学

多重自我是行为福利经济学中一种传统的假设，用于模拟个人幸福感。然而，一个重要的问题是，哪个自我比其他人具有规范权威。在本文中，我们提出了一个论点，我们称之为行为福利经济学中个人身份的“本体论方法”。根据这种方法，伦理问题——比如哪种偏好应该被授予规范权威而不是另一种权威——可以通过个人持久性的本体论标准来确定，该标准旨在确定个人从一个时间到另一个时间的持久性需要什么。
