We propose and axiomatize probability adjusted rank-discounted critical-level generalized utilitarianism (PARDCLU). We … thus generalize rank-discounted utilitarianism (RDU) (proposed by Zuber and Asheim, 2012) to variable population and risky … other policy issues with long-run consequences. We illustrate how PARDCLU yields rank-dependent expected utilitarianism …

utilitarianism (DU). DU is controversial, both due to the conditions through which it is justified and due to its consequences for … measures to justify their present costs. In this paper, we propose sustainable discounted utilitarianism (SDU) as an … alternative principle for evaluation of climate policy. Unlike undiscounted utilitarianism, which always assigns zero relative …

Discounted utilitarianism treats generations unequally and leads to seemingly unappealing consequences in some models … of economic growth. Instead, this paper presents and applies sustainable discounted utilitarianism (SDU). SDU respects … the interests of future generations and resolves intergenerational conflicts by imposing on discounted utilitarianism that …
