On formalizing fairness in prediction with machine learning (2017, background): “• Equality of resources: Dworkin (16) propose the notion of equality of resources in which unequal distribution of social benefits is only considered fair when it results from the intentional decisions and actions of the concerned individuals.”
Equality of When (2017, background): “By focusing only on inequalities in selected portions of agents’ lives, both principles can lead to the paradoxical conclusion that a distribution exhibiting changing places egalitarianism is as objectionable as one in which the agents’ roles are not interchanged and one agent is worse off in every ”
Equity, efficiency and inequality traps: A research agenda (2007, background): “1 The most influential references are probably Dworkin [ 31 ], Arneson [7], Cohen [30] and Roemer [53].”
Who emits most? Associations between socio-economic factors and UK households' home energy, transport, indirect and total CO2 emissions (2013, background): “Whether or not living in a rural place can be considered as an “expensive taste” or whether it comes down to “brute luck” (Dworkin, 1981a,b; Starkey, 2008) is still a contested matter.”
Generational Income Mobility in North America and Europe: Equal opportunity and intergenerational mobility: going beyond intergenerational income transition matrices (2004, background): “…order that I think most readers would choose as the right order for inclusion in the set of circumstances for EOp policy: that is, most people think that equality of opportunity requires “leveling the playing field” with regard to inequalities of opportunity due to differential family connections;…”
Two types of ‘enough’: sufficiency as minimum and maximum (2016, background): “This question has been debated extensively within the egalitarian debate among justice theorists in the 1980s (e.g. Sen 1979, Dworkin 1981a, 1981b, Cohen 1989).”
Equality of opportunity and luck: Definitions and testable conditions, with an application to income in France (2009, background): “This has led egalitarian philosophers such as Rawls (1971), Dworkin (1981a, 1981b), Sen (1985), Cohen (1989) or Arneson (1989, 1990) to claim that distributive justice does not entail the equality of individual outcomes but only requires that individuals face equal opportunities for outcome.”
Kantian optimization: A microfoundation for cooperation (2015, background): “…at first accord with a conception of equality of opportunity that has developed in the last thirty years in political philosophy (see Rawls, 1971; Dworkin, 1981; Arneson, 1989; Cohen, 1989), but in which inequality in those earnings is then reduced because of the necessity to maintain…”
Ranking Sets of Objects (2001, background): “We will come across examples of that nature later on in this chapter.”
Empirical Approaches to Inequality of Opportunity: Principles, Measures, and Evidence (2012, background): “(2010) and Ferreira and Gignoux (2011) point out that most standard inequality indices measuring inequality of opportunity as inequality in the smoothed income distribution satisfy, apart from utilitarian reward an additional desirable property: when a transfer is made from an individual in a richer”
