Equitable preference relations on infinite utility streams
We propose generalized versions of strong equity and Pigou-Dalton transfer principle. We study the existence and the real valued representation of social welfare relations satisfying these two generalized equity principles. Our results characterize the restrictions on one period utility domains for the equitable social welfare relation (i) to exist; and (ii) to admit real-valued representations.

Proper solutions for Epstein-Zin Stochastic Differential Utility
In this article, we consider the optimal investment-consumption problem for an agent with preferences governed by Epstein--Zin stochastic differential utility (EZ-SDU) who invests in a constant-parameter Black-Scholes-Me…
The Infinite Horizon Investment-Consumption Problem for Epstein-Zin Stochastic Differential Utility
In this article we consider the optimal investment-consumption problem for an agent with preferences governed by Epstein-Zin stochastic differential utility who invests in a constant-parameter Black-Scholes-Merton market…
Impartial utilitarianism on infinite utility streams
When evaluating policies that affect future generations, the most commonly used criterion is the discounted utilitarian rule. However, in terms of intergenerational fairness, it is difficult to justify prioritizing the c…
FairnessExtended Gini Index
We propose an extended version of Gini index defined on the set of infinite utility streams, $X=Y^\mathbb{N}$ where $Y\subset \mathbb{R}$. For $Y$ containing at most finitely many elements, the index satisfies the genera…
Single-Crossing Differences in Convex Environments
An agent's preferences depend on an ordered parameter or type. We characterize the set of utility functions with single-crossing differences (SCD) in convex environments. These include preferences over lotteries, both in…
