Empirical Approaches to Inequality of Opportunity : Principles, Measures, and Evidence

Ramos, Xavier - 2012

We put together the different conceptual issues involved in measuring inequality of opportunity, discuss how these concepts have been translated into computable measures, and point out the problems and choices researchers face when implementing these measures. Our analysis identifies and...

Ex Post Inequality of Opportunity Comparisons

Fleurbaey, Marc - 2015

In this paper we propose different criteria to rank income distributions according to equality of opportunity. Different from existing ones, our criteria explicitly recognize the interplay between circumstances and effort. We characterize them axiomatically and we compare them with existing...
