This paper analyses the choice of an inter-generational discount rate as well as a method for inter-generational discounting. It is shown that the pure time preference rate is irrelevant for inter-generational comparisons. However, the application of the growth time preference rate - with...

Ecological damages have to be evaluated in monetary terms for implementation in an economic analysis. Economic theory is based upon individual preferences (methodological individualism): Ecological damages can only be socially evaluated when individual values are available. However, in sharp...

Die Diskontierung ist von zentraler Bedeutung bei der Beurteilung der Effizienz staatlicher Vorhaben. Ihre Anwendung ruft aber auch Kritiker auf den Plan, da sie das Einschwenken auf einen nachhaltigen Wachstumspfad verhindere. Sie plädieren deshalb für den Verzicht auf Diskontierung. Dies...

We investigate the systematic intergenerational discounting of climate policy on basis of the neo-classical benefit-cost analysis. Reference point is the Ramsey-rule which results from optimal growth theory. The agents live infinitely long. This signifies that intergenerational comparisons do...
