Multi-profile welfarism: A generalization
This paper characterizes welfarist social evaluation in a multiprofile setting where, in addition to multiple utility profiles, there may be more than one profile of non-welfare information. We prove a new version of the welfarism theorem in this alternative framework, and we demonstrate that adding...
