内容提要 | 经济学核心的效用概念当代沿两大方向拓展:一是在保留新古典决策效用基本内涵的基础上,将信念和超越物质利益的广泛偏好纳入效用函数,以更好的刻画和预测决策行为;二是在批判新古典决策效用的基础上提出体验效用并不断丰富其内涵,以更好的刻画和度量个体的幸福体验或福利状况。本文在全面总结评价这两条线路重要成就的基础上,认为非物质偏好、信念扭曲和有限理性是新古典决策效用与体验效用分离的原因,而新决策效用的拓展与体验效用相辅相成,具有重大的理论和现实意义。在本文此基础上建立一个终身幸福函数,并探讨实现这一幸福目标的社会经济结构变革方向。 |
Abstract | Utility, the core of Economics, expands in two directions: First, preserving the basic connotation of the neoclassical decision utility, incorporate beliefs and broad social preferences beyond material interests into the utility function, to better characterize and predict decision-making behaviors. The other is the rise and development of experience utility, on the basis of criticizing the neoclassical decision utility, which intends to better describe and measure individuals’ happiness experience or welfare situation. We systematically review the main achievements of the two routes and show that non-material preference, distorted beliefs and bounded rationality are causes of the inconsistence between neoclassical decision utility and experience utility. The new expanded decision utility and experience utility complement each other well and have great theoretical and practical significance. On this basis, we establish a lifelong happiness function and explore possible social and economic structural changes for this happiness goal direction. |
