Hunger Inequality: Ethics and Aid
从主权平等、民主伦理和厌恶不平等三种伦理视角，考察跨国饥饿分布的不平等，并分析1991-2001年实际变化及粮食援助的分配效果。
This article considers the inequality in the cross-country distribution of hunger using multiple ethical underpinnings. Under sovereign equality, each nation-state receives equal weighting, leading to the conclusion that hunger should be concentrated in a few large countries. Under the democratic ethic, individuals receive equal weighting and the global distribution of hungry people is irrelevant. Inequality aversion deliberately prefers equal levels of hunger across countries. These ideals are presented in a general social welfare function and compared to the actual changes in hunger during 1991-2001. The distribution of food aid to reduce both hunger and hunger inequality are considered.
