We propose the river pollution claims problem to distribute a pollution budget among agents located along a river. A … location of pollution along the river is an important concern in addition to fairness. We characterize the class of externality … propose two novel axioms that are motivated by the river pollution context and use them to characterize two priority rules. …

We introduce a measure of population health that is sensitive to dispersion in both agespecific health and lifespan. The measure generalises health-adjusted life expectancy without requiring more data. A transformation of change in the measure gives a distributionally sensitive monetary...
