This paper shows how utility based welfare measures in dynamic general equilibrium under imperfect markets can be transferred into a money metrics. In order to do this, we need to price forward looking components measured in units of utility. The typical comprehensive (green or inclusive)...

The concept of genuine saving has in recent years become widely accepted as a dynamic welfare indicator, which first appeared in Weitzman (Q. J. Econ. 99:1–13, <CitationRef CitationID="CR18">1976</CitationRef>) and then formalized by Pearce and Atkinson (Ecol. Econ. 8:103–108, <CitationRef CitationID="CR12">1993</CitationRef>). This paper attempts to generalize this concept in a...</citationref></citationref>

The concept of genuine saving appeared for the first time in a proof of a now well known theorem in Weitzman (1976). It was reinvented and used as a local welfare indicator by Pearce and Atkinson (1993). The purpose of this paper is to generalize this welfare measure to a stochastic Brownian...

Based on an ideal index for de.ating after-project prices, we derive a dynamic cost-bene.t rule for evaluating large projects. We show that, in addition to the conventional income and consumer surplus meaures, the rule also entails an extra term involving capital and investment cost changes.

This note shows that the welll-known Hotelling rule holds for a wider class of capital investment projects with a property of process independence. Optimality behavior is therefore not a necessary condition for deriving the result.

We show that growth in NNP measured in constant prices indicates welfare improvement, provided that an observable rate of return measure is positive. This is an <p> alternative welfare interpretation of growth in comprehensive NNP compared with <p> that of Asheim and Weitzman (2001, this journal)...</p></p>
