Abstract

The study of intergenerational equity may be broken down into four broad categories in accordance with the following two simple questions. The first is whether we are merely concerned with the equity issues among generations that are adjacent or overlapping along the time axis, or whether our concern about intergenerational equity is broad enough to cover even distant future generations (which we would never encounter in our own lifetimes). The second is related to informational bases of intergenerational equity. It asks what information is relevant to judgements of intergenerational equity, or whether we should assume that only utility or welfare information is relevant to equity judgements. Among the four categories identified by the combination of answers to these two simple questions, this chapter focuses on the analysis of equity among distant generations, without assuming that only utility or welfare information is relevant.
