Transport currently accounts for around 25-30% of global CO2 emissions and this contribution is growing rapidly. Moreover, road transport holds by far the major part in these emissions. Because of the social and political reluctance to increase fuel taxation, it is of some interest to explore...

The vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) has been the subject of intensive study because of its importance in real applications. In this paper, we propose a cross entropy multiagent learning algorithm, which considers an optimum solution as a rare event to be learned. The routing...

Theories of justice in the spirit of Rawls and Harsanyi argue that fair-minded people should aspire to make choices for society as if in the original position, that is, behind a veil of ignorance that prevents them from knowing their own social positions. In this paper, we provide a fairly...

A necessary and … sufficient condition (A) on the pairs (u, μ) and (v, ν) will be presented for dichotomous weak increased uncertainty aversion … indifferent. Condition A is thus a characterization of weak increased uncertainty aversion for convex f. An example will be …

We propose an ethical viewpoint based on the possibility of the realization of the worst-case scenario in order to reduce future generations risks in terms of discounting. Applied to the question of conservation of a renewable resource, we show that an economy, where the social planner takes...

We provide a general theorem on the aggregation of preferences under uncertainty. We study, in the Anscombe …-Aumann setting a wide class of preferences, that includes most known models of decision under uncertainty (and state …". The latter means that society cannot have a non-neutral attitude towards uncertainty on a subclass of acts. A corollary to …

We prove … that aggregation is possible and necessarily linear if and only if (society's) preferences are uncertainty neutral.
