statistical tests for fairness within well-defined income distribution generating processes and a well specified notion of … fairness. We find that the likelihood ratio (LR) test for fairness versus unfairness within two such processes are proportional … their values differently – to compare them to critical values for a test of the null hypothesis of fairness, or to use them …

Automating Automaticity : How the Context of Human Choice Affects the Extent of Algorithmic Bias
Agan, Amanda Y.; Davenport, Diag; Ludwig, Jens; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Niehues, Judith; Peichl, Andreas - 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...
