Abstract

Richard Lecomber had a special interest in economic policies that will have profound effects far in the future. He was, for instance, concerned with protecting natural resources, and with the use of nuclear power. Assessing policies like these raises many questions that economists have not yet learnt to answer. In this paper I shall concentrate on just one of them. These policies are bound to affect the world’s future population. They will affect how many people are born and how long they live for. How should we take account of these effects in judging the policies?
