strong ties across generations. However, health status, arguably a more critical component of welfare, has largely been … ignored. We fill this void by providing the first estimates of the Intergenerational Health Association (IHA) that are …-sectional units. Adjusting for only age and gender, we estimate an IHA of 0.3 indicating that about one third of a parent's health …

Studies of intergenerational mobility have largely ignored health despite the central importance of health to welfare …. We present the first estimates of intergenerational health mobility in the US by using repeated measures of self …-reported health status (SRH) during adulthood from the PSID. Our main finding is that there is substantially greater health mobility …

Furthermore, with inequality aversion, the optimal …. However, loans to poor countries to reduce inequality may result in a debt crisis, and hence, debt remittance may be part of …

This paper presents an infinite-horizon version of intergenerational utilitarianism that is both satisfactorily complete and consistent. By studying discounted utilitarianism as the discount factor tends to one, we obtain a welfare criterion --- limit-discounted utilitarianism --- that combines...

This paper provides axiomatic descriptions of social welfare relations, defined on infinite streams of utility, that are consistent with the utilitarian criterion on subsets where maximizing aggregate utility has a clear interpretation: the streams, or their differences, are summable. Besides...

One of the challenges in managing the Earth’s common pool resources, such as a livable climate or the supply of safe drinking water, is to motivate successive generations to make the costly effort not to deplete them out of reasons including inter-generational beneficence. In the context of...

Using nationally representative data, we estimate intergenerational persistence in health in India. Results from the … instrumental variable method show that children of anemic mothers are more likely to be anemic, with an intergenerational health … status may play a role in the persistence of poor health across generations in developing countries. …

In more and more situations, artificially intelligent algorithms have to model humans' (social) preferences on whose behalf they increasingly make decisions. They can learn these preferences through the repeated observation of human behavior in social encounters. In such a context, do...

Humans shape the behavior of artificially intelligent algorithms. One mechanism is the training these systems receive through the passive observation of human behavior and the data we constantly generate. In a laboratory experiment with a sequence of dictator games, we let participants’...
