Escaping the repugnant conclusion: rank-discounted utilitarianism with variable population

Asheim, Geir B.; Zuber, Stéphane - In: Theoretical Economics 9 (2014) 3

We contribute to population ethics by proposing and axiomatizing rank-discounted critical-level generalized utilitarianism (RDCLU). Population ethics is needed for evaluation of policies, e.g., concerning climate change, where population size depends on the chosen policy. We show that...

Neubauer, Deane Edward - In: Journal of Human Security 9 (2013) 1, pp. 29-31
