SUMMARY:Workshop "Preference Change", London, U.K.
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20090528
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20090530
LOCATION:London, U.K.
DESCRIPTION:Preference change is a phenomenon that
  everyone experiences in himself or herself. 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.   For more i
 nformation, see http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/C

  change is a phenomenon that everyone experiences
