APPROACHES TO INEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY: PRINCIPLES, MEASURES AND EVIDENCE
梳理了机会不平等度量的概念问题,讨论了如何将其转化为可计算指标,并指出实施中的问题与选择,提出了新的度量可能性,结合收入不平等实证文献说明概念与模型选择的重要性。
Abstract 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 suggests several new possibilities to measure inequality of opportunity. The relevance of the conceptual issues and modelling choices are illustrated with findings from the empirical literature on income inequality of opportunity.
