In the distributive analysis, the constant relative inequality aversion utility function is a standard tool for ethical … judgements of income distributions. The sole parameter ε of this function expresses a society’s aversion to inequality. However … inequality aversion utility function using datasets available from the Luxembourg Income Study Database.

We design a novel experiment to identify aversion to pure (univariate) health inequality separately from aversion to … income-related and income-caused health inequality. Participants allocate resources to determine health of individuals … preferences while accounting for noise. The median person has strong aversion to pure health inequality, challenging the health …

This paper presents an infinite-horizon version of intergenerational utilitarianism. By studying discounted … utilitarianism as the discount factor tends to one, we obtain a new welfare criterion: limit-discounted utilitarianism (LDU). We show …

We show that a rich …-to-poor transfer can induce a response in the individuals' behaviors which actually exacerbates, rather than reduces, income inequality … space of admissible utility functions.
