摘要
This paper deals with some consequences of certain population changes on social welfare considerations. In particular, a general concept for expressing value judgements about how the addition of one further agent to some given society should affect social welfare and a replication invariance condition are introduced and discussed. An axiomatic framework for welfare orderings based on a generalized averaging procedure applied to individual utilities is provided. © 1990.
