The growing consideration of animals in Law and Economics. Recent advances and remaining challenges.
 
Over the past decade, scholars in social sciences have devoted growing attention to animals and, in particular,  their welfare. While animals have always been part of economic and legal discussions, they have mostly been considered as goods or means of production. Recently, a new generation of works has emerged to discuss animals as sentient beings, i.e., individuals capable of experiencing welfare. Considering animals as individuals capable of welfare rather than goods has opened the door to vast research horizons in both disciplines. Should animals be granted a special legal status? What are the best strategies to improve their welfare? How to measure their welfare? How to arbitrate tradeoffs between animal and human welfare? In this round table, we will discuss the emergence of these new streams of research, their recent advances, and the remaining challenges that need to be tackled.
