Population Ethics: The Value of Rank-dependent Welfare Criteria - 2016.
33
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.
