| In his PhD thesis entitled Non-Standard Preferences, Welfare, and Public Policy, Malte discusses the implications of these findings for welfare economic analysis. In light of inconsistent or changing preferences, he argues that it is challenging for the economist to infer theoretically coherent statements from choice data about the exact determinants of individual welfare. He argues that behavioral economics – and the public policy derived from it – should be less concerned with the identification and satisfaction of static preferences (i.e., the outcome-oriented analysis of decision-making) and focus instead upon the conditions under which people’s preferences dynamically evolve (i.e., the procedural perspective of decision-making). Based on his dissertation work, he published three articles in peer-reviewed journals. |
