Niehues, Judith; Peichl, Andreas - Forschungsbasierte Infrastruktureinrichtung … - 2011
Previous estimates of unfair inequality of opportunity (IOp) are only lower bounds because of the unobservability of the full set of endowed circumstances beyond the sphere of individual responsibility. In this paper, we suggest a new estimator based on a fixed effects panel model which...
