Harvard University Program in Ethics and Health Speaker Series
Featuring Peter Ubel, MD
December 18, 2006, 4:00-6:00 PM
Countway Library, Minot room, 5th floor, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
Economics purports to be the science of utility maximization. Currently, most economists believe that the best way to maximize utility is to leave people alone, to make free and informed choices. They believe that people's preferences are best revealed by observing the choices that people make. Daniel Kahneman, Nobel laureate in economics, has argued that economics needs to go back to the theories of Jeremy Bentham, and advocate policies that maximize people's happiness. He bases this argument on wide-ranging research which shows that people's choices do not consistently maximize their own happiness.
In this talk, Dr. Ubel will review debates in economic theory about what the end of economics ought to be: the utility people reveal through their choices, or the utility they reveal through their moment to moment well-being. He arguse that neither of these criteria are acceptable bases upon which to guide policy decisions. Dr. Ubel will highlight the deficiencies of both of these theories by exploring some of the fundamental questions created for economic theory by the existence of emotional adaptation, especially in the context of chronic illness and disability.
About Peter Ubel, MD
Director, Center for Behavioral and Decision Sciences in Medicine Ann Arbor VAMC and University of Michigan
Dr. Ubel is Professor of Medicine and Psychology at the University of Michigan, a primary care physician at the Ann Arbor Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Director of the Center for Behavioral and Decision Sciences in Medicine at the University of Michigan. His research explores controversial issues about the role of values and preferences in health care decision making, from decisions at the bedside to policy decisions. He uses the tools of decision psychology to explore ethical debates about topics like informed consent and health care rationing. He is author of Pricing Life: Why It Is Time For Health Care Rationing, (MIT Press, 2000) and You’re Stronger Than You Think: Tapping The Secrets Of Emotionally Resilient People, (McGraw-Hill, 2006).
