Intergenerational Discounting and Inequality

IFRO Friday seminar logo

Open seminar with Frikk Nesje, Department of Economics, KU.

About the seminar:

We study all theories of justice that disentangle ethical views on intergenerational discounting and intergenerational inequality.

Each “modular” social welfare function is uniquely identified by a time-discounting function--capturing attitudes toward time--and an aggregator function--capturing attitudes toward inequality.

The rich choice of such functions allows our theories to include the most common welfare criteria adopted in the literature as special cases, and uncovers unexplored families of alternative criteria.

Our axiomatic characterization identifies the properties and establishes the limits of disentangling discounting and inequality.

How to participate

The seminar is open to all.
The seminar will take place in meeting room Heden at IFRO, Rolighedsvej 23.
