We show with a counterexample that Theorem 1 of “Can intergenerational equity
be operationalized?” is wrong. The problem with Theorem 1 does not affect the
remaining results of the paper, which form its core.
Keywords. Intergenerational equity, infinite utility streams, Pareto criterion.
JEL classification. D60, D63.
