They were presented at a conference on “Social Ethics and Normative Economics” in honour of Serge that was held at the Université de Caen, May 18–19, 2007. This conference received generous financial support from the Association pour le Développement de la Recherche en Economie et en Statistique, the Institut d’Economie Publique, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, the Centre de Recherche en Economie et Management (UMR-CNRS 6211), the Université de Caen, the région de Basse-Normandie, and the ville de Caen. We are grateful to all of these institutions for their support. Each of the essays has been revised in light of comments received from a referee and from the editors. We would like to thank the scholars who served as referees. We are also grateful to Martina Bihn, our editor at Springer, for her support and encouragement. Last, but not least, we want to express our appreciation to Serge for the assistance he has provided in responding to our many queries about his life and scholarship.
