Literature
[ ] Brunori2018 - equality of opportunity and consumption dynamics
- compares growth processes to their distributional implications through opportunity egalitarianism perspective
- results:
- individual ex ante and ex post versions quite consistent in showing growth has not been opportunity-progressive
- ex post: requires equal outcome for equal effort (generally more accepted in theoretical lit)
- ex ante: requires equal set of opportunities for all individuals (generally more used in applied research since easier computation)
- type (ethnicity, origin) and class (quantile) evaluations are more divergent
- difficult to establish any trends, high level of uncertainty
- seems in ex post version class some progressive redistribution takes place
- individual ex ante and ex post versions quite consistent in showing growth has not been opportunity-progressive
