Fair Intergenerational Resource Allocation Rule Proposed
Sharing finite resources across multiple generations demands a careful balance between the needs of the living and the claims of the unborn. New research presented at the 2026 European Control Conference introduces a novel allocation rule designed to ensure equity. The proposed method guarantees that every generation receives an identical fraction of its own best attainable welfare, maintaining access for the future without needing a consensus on one social goal.
