Team louvain-la-neuve
Topic and Research
The Louvain-la-Neuve team is mainly focused on the interaction between the philosophy of mind and neuroeconomics, behavioural economics and policy making. Our main strengths are related to an already existing project, the ARC project, and the consequential expertise on neuroscience and free will.
Starting from the free will perspective, we aim to enquire different aspects on how the philosophy of science may inform neuroeconomics and behavioural economics.
Three distinct topics of inquiry are at the moment under scrutiny:
- An historical aspects of utility measurement and decision making that aims to deepen the epistemological and methodological understanding from an history and philosophy of science perspective
- The integration of conceptual tools coming from the philosophy of mind and philosophy of moral responsibility to deepen the understanding of behavioural bias in behavioural economics and the problems that arise in policy making.
- The impact that contemporary research in neuroscience may have on the understanding of theoretical economic concepts, especially on measurement theory of neuroutility and related notions.
