本文提出了一个定义为代际公平的可持续性经济模型。假设代际公平是每一代人的义务，得到一个递归优化问题。该问题的优点是，不确定性可以很容易地纳入模型，并且可以在广泛的规格范围内进行数值解决。讨论了在效率和可持续性之间进行权衡的可能性。在合理的条件下，只有在有经济增长预期的情况下，可持续发展义务才会得到满足。
This paper presents an economic model of sustainability defined as intergenerational fairness. Assuming that intergenerational fairness is an obligation of each generation, a recursive optimization problem is obtained. The problem has the advantage that uncertainty can readily be incorporated in the model and it can be solved numerically for a wide range of specifications. The possibility of trade-offs between efficiency and sustainability are discussed. Under plausible conditions, it is shown that a sustainability obligation is met only if there is the expectation of economic growth.
