Du choix social à la taxation optimale : les dépenses de santé

Marc Fleurbaey

Abstracts

The theory of social choice and the theory of optimal taxation can be linked together by applying the former’s tools to economic models pertaining to the latter, and not only to the traditional abstract social choice setting, and also by using sufficient information about individual preferences in the comparison of alternative social states, contrary to a regrettable tradition initiated by Arrow’s theorem. This paper first discusses the general methodological issues, and illustrates the new approach proposed here with an example dealing with health policy.
