Dietz, Simon; Asheim, Geir B. - 2021
Empirical evaluation of policies to mitigate climate change has been largely confined to the application of discounted utilitarianism (DU). DU is controversial, both due to the conditions through which it is justified and due to its consequences for climate policies, where the discounting of...

Justifying Social Discounting : The Rank-Discounted Utilitarian Approach
Zuber, Stephane; Asheim, Geir B. - 2021
The discounted utilitarian criterion for infinite horizon social choice has been criticized for treating generations unequally. We propose an extended rank-discounted utilitarian (ERDU) criterion instead. The criterion amounts to discounted utilitarianism on non-decreasing streams, but it treats...

A Complete and Strongly Anonymous Leximin Relation on Infinite Streams
Asheim, Geir B.; Zuber, Stéphane - CESifo - 2011
Various extensions of the leximin order to the infinite dimensional setting have been suggested. They relax completeness and strong anonymity. Instead, by removing sensitivity to generations at infinite rank this paper defines a complete and strongly anonymous leximin relation on infinite...
