Briefings

A 2026 European Control Conference presentation by Prof. Thomas A. Weber proposes a welfare allocation rule where every generation receives the same fraction of its best attainable welfare. This method ensures future generations are not excluded while avoiding the need for a specific social objective. The study was presented at the 2026 European Control Conference in Reykjavík, with results published in October 2026.

• Prof. Thomas A. Weber presented a rule at the 2026 European Control Conference in Reykjavík proposing that every generation receives the same fraction of its best attainable welfare.
