Any Non‐welfarist Method of Policy Assessment Violates the Pareto Principle
证明,任何不纯粹依据个人效用(即非福利主义)来评估社会福祉的政策方法,都会违背帕累托原则,对关注政策评估基础的经济学者和政策制定者有参考价值。
The public at large, many policymakers, and a number of economists hold views of social welfare that are non-welfarist. That is, they attach some importance to factors other than the effects of policies on individuals' utilities. We show, however, that any non-welfarist method of policy assessment violates the Pareto principle.
