摘要：We describe a new approach to the problem of resolving distributional conﬂicts between an inﬁnite and countable number of gen- erations. We impose conditions on the social preferences that capture the following idea: If indiﬀerence or preference holds between truncated paths for inﬁnitely many truncating times, then indiﬀerence or prefer- ence holds also between the untruncated inﬁnite paths. In this frame- work we show (1) how such conditions illustrate the problem of combin- ing Strong Pareto and impartiality in an intergenerational setting, and (2) how equity conditions well-known from the ﬁnite setting can be used to characterize diﬀerent versions of leximin and utilitarianism.
