Utility Maximisation as a Pathway for Maximisation of Happiness

Siddhartha Mitra ; Department of Economics, Jadavpur University

Abstract

It is hypothesized that pursuit of human happiness is carried out through adaptive change in utility functions by drawing lessons from, in an ex-post manner, the effect of short run utility maximizing choices on utility possibilities. A reference frame for future research is designed to check the truth of this hypothesis which would draw on the methodology already in use for conducting happiness surveys.

Keywords
