The limit of discounted utilitarianism
Jonsson, Adam; Voorneveld, Mark - 2014 - Date: March 21, 2014
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 efficiency and the equal treatment of generations with …

Utilitarianism for infinite utility streams: summable differences and finite averages
Jonsson, Adam; Voorneveld, Mark - 2014 - Date: March 21, 2014
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...

Accidents of birth, life chances and the impartial observer
Grant, Simon (contributor); Kajii, Atsushi (contributor);  … - 2003 - [Elektronische Ressource]

Specific egalitarianism? : inequality aversion across domains
Costa-Font, Joan; Cowell, Frank A. - 2024
An individual’s inequality aversion (IA) is a central preference parameter that captures the welfare sacrifice from exposure to inequality. However, it is far from trivial how to best elicit IA estimates. Also, little is known about the behavioural determinants of IA and how they differ across...
