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 …
