摘要

本文介绍了一种新型的社会福利衡量方法，其中人口通过其与最优人口的相似性来评估，最优人口是相对于某些情况下(原则上)可能具有最高社会福利程度的人口。在这里，它被认为是最大可能的人口，每个人都过得最好。新标准是根据福利质量、福利平等性、人口数量等因素制定的。它满足了支配性和负单调性，它避免了与我们在地球上的未来相比较的令人反感的结论和相反的令人反感的结论。

Measuring Social Welfare by Proximity to an Optimum Population

This essay introduces a new type of measure of social welfare, where populations are evaluated by their resemblance to an optimum population, which is an (in principle) possible population with the highest degree of social welfare, relative to some circumstances. Here, it is argued to be the largest possible population where everyone fares maximally well. The new measure is responsive to quality of welfare, equality of welfare and the number of people. It satisfies dominance and negative monotonicity, and it avoids both the repugnant conclusion and a reverse repugnant conclusion for comparisons relative to our future on earth.
