Such change can be gradual or radical, expected or surp rising, caused by external experiences (such as en countering another culture) or by internal influen ces (such as aging), and so on. How should prefere nce change be explained and modelled? This is a me thodological question of tremendous importance, wi th repercussions in various areas such as dynamic decision theory, welfare economics, consumer theor y, moral psychology, philosophy of mind, political science, and the study of deliberation. Yet the q uestion is far from settled, and a science of pref erence change, if it exists at all at this point, is certainly in its infancy. To mention only one p oint of disagreement, standard rational choice mod els explain every preference change by an underlyi ng belief change, whereas critics reject this redu ction. The aim of this workshop is to bring togeth er different researchers with interests in this ar ea and to discuss fresh perspectives.
