Ex ante versus ex post equality of opportunity (2013, methodology): “Second, as suggested by Bourguignon et al. (2007b) and World Bank (2006), the degree of circumstances-based inequalities, rather than income inequality, could be related to aggregate economic performance and economic growth.”

Inequality of opportunity in Italy (2010, background): “Second, opportunity inequality, rather than income inequality, can be strongly related to aggregate economic performance: it has been suggested [5, 34] that the existence of strong and persistent inequalities in the initial opportunities open to individuals can generate true inequality traps that, i”
Inequality Of Opportunity And Growth (2013, background): “…Ruiz-Castillo (2003), Peragine (2002 and 2004), Checchi and Peragine (2005), Betts and Roemer (2007), Moreno-Ternero (2007), Ooghe et al.
