  3. An application of optimal control theory in welfare economics

    Scroggin, Steven Ernest

    We consider the maximization of a functional representing social welfare over continuous time. A social welfare functional (SWF) is an integral that models social welfare as a function of individual consumption, individual utility of consumption and the value of utility aggregated across …
