Justifying social discounting: The rank-discounted utilitarian approach
The discounted utilitarian criterion for infinite horizon social choice has been criticized for treating generations unequally. We propose an extended rank-discounted utilitarian (ERDU) criterion instead. The criterion amounts to discounted utilitarianism on non-decreasing streams, but it treats all generations impartially: discounting becomes the mere expression of intergenerational inequality...
متن کاملProbability adjusted rank-discounted utilitarianism∗
We propose and axiomatize probability adjusted rank-discounted critical-level generalized utilitarianism (PARDCLU). We thus generalize rank-discounted utilitarianism (RDU) to variable population and uncertainty and thereby take important steps towards preparing RDU for practical use, e.g. for evaluation of climate policies and other policy issues with long-run consequences. We illustrate how PA...
متن کاملThe discounted utility model and social preferences:: Some alternative formulations to conventional discounting
This paper considers four patterns of intertemporal choice. First, the time effect, an inverse relation between time preference (TP) and the time implied in the choice. Secondly, the magnitude effect, an inverse relation between TP and the amount implied in the choice. Thirdly, delay/speed-up asymmetry, that is to say, a change in the preferences in function of the framing of the choices. Fourt...
متن کاملValuing future private and social bene®ts: The discounted utility model versus hyperbolic discounting models
It is standard practice in economic evaluation and in any economic analysis of future events to assume the discounted utility model on the part of economic agents. This paper compares the discounted utility model with three hyperbolic discounting models with respect to private and social ®nancial bene®ts. The discounting models are ®tted using non-linear regression techniques to data collected ...
