Normative economics is about making an ethical decision about whether or not to pursue a given policy, taken into account its positive implications, i.e., whether or not the costs of the policy and who bears them are compensated by the benefits.
The purpose of this short module is to endow the students with a framework that identifies the main dilemmas in making societal decisions and how they can be solved. We will browse the main authors in this tradition.
