Many growing intergenerational conflicts of interest, such as climate change and fiscal sustainability, are the result of the historically new progress of increasing human power, and the resolution of those conflicts demands a new intergenerational ethic.

His professional work is reflected in this study of intergenerational issues. His recent experience includes issues from fiscal consolidation plans to the design of policies for decarbonization. Intergenerational conflicts of interest are the central issue in these policy agendas. He has applied both philosophy and economics including experimental economics to these issues and has proposed methodologies for resolving intergenerational conflicts.
