Éthique de la population: l’apport des critères de bien-être dépendant du rang

Stéphane Zuber

Revue économique, 2017, vol. 68, issue 1, 73-96

Abstract: This paper discusses the advantages of rank-dependent welfare criteria for population ethics. Population ethics is concerned with the evaluation and the comparison of allocations when population size is variable. It is shown that rank-dependent criteria may be immune to several drawbacks faced by (generalized) utilitarian criteria, which are usually considered in that field.
