We show with a counterexample that Theorem 1 of [Zame, William R. “Can inter-
generational equity be operationalized?” Theoretical Economics 2.2 (2007): 187-
202.] 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.
JEL CLASSIFICATION. D60, D63.
