philosophy of economics ethics and economics normative economics freedom of choice

Wassily Leontief

About

My work focuses on the evaluation of economic policies and institutions by considering their impact on individual freedom, following in the footsteps of Amartya Sen or Robert Sugden.

One of my objectives is to highlight the value judgments economists make when they adopt one representation of the economic agent over another or when they select specific criteria to evaluate individual choices.

The aim is also to move beyond purely theoretical inquiry to apply it to pressing issues in economic ethics, including debates concerning morally contested markets, the justification of resorting to coercion to provide public goods, and the legitimacy of paternalistic public policies
