John Rawls's work (1971) has greatly contributed to rehabilitating equality as a basic social value, after decades of utilitarian hegemony,particularly in normative economics, but Rawls also emphasized that full welfare is not an adequate goal either. This thesis was echoed Dworkin's famous twin papers on (Dworkin 1981a,b), and it now widely accepted egalitarianism must be selective. The bulk the debate ‘Equality What?’ thus deals with what variables ought submitted for selection how this...
This paper critically examines the various approaches to measurement of individual well-being and social welfare that have been considered for construction alternatives GDP. Special attention is devoted recent developments in analysis sustainability, study happiness, theory choice fair allocation, capability approach. It suggested conclusion that, although convergence toward a consensual approach not impossible, moment one but three GDP are worth developing. (JEL I31, E23, E01)
The definition and measurement of social welfare have been a vexed issue for the past century. This book makes constructive, easily applicable proposal suggests how to evaluate economic situation society in way that gives priority worse-off respects each individual's preferences over his or her own consumption, work, leisure so on. approach resonates with current concern go 'beyond GDP' progress. Compared technical studies economics, this emphasizes constructive results rather than paradoxes...
We study the difference between ex post and ante perspectives in equality of opportunity. show that well documented conflicts compensation reward are but an aspect a broader conflict perspectives. The literature takes goal providing equal opportunities as guiding principle generally considers this is implemented only when, , all individuals with same effort obtain success. It easy to believe another natural embodiment idea. not true.
In a model where agents have unequal skills and heterogeneous preferences over consumption leisure, we look for the optimal tax on basis of efficiency fairness principles under incentive-compatibility constraints. The considered here are: (1) weak version Pigou—Dalton transfer principle; (2) condition precluding redistribution when all same skills. With such construct justify specific social derive simple criterion evaluation income schedules. Namely, lower greatest average rate range low...

Abstract We propose a measure of living standards for international comparisons. Based on GDP per capita, the incorporates corrections flows income, labor, risk unemployment, healthy life expectancy, household demography and inequalities. The method comparing populations that differ in some non‐income dimension consists computing equivalent variation income would make each population indifferent between its current situation reference with respect to dimension. This is applied 24 OECD...
In this paper, we study interpersonal comparisons of wellbeing. We show that using subjective wellbeing (SWB) levels can be in conflict with individuals' judgments about their own lives. propose therefore an alternative measure terms equivalent incomes respects individual preferences. how SWB surveys used to derive the ordinal information preferences needed calculate incomes. illustrate our approach Russian panel data (RLMS‐HSE) for period 1995–2003 and compare it standard measures such as...
The Repugnant Conclusion is an implication of some approaches to population ethics. It states, in Derek Parfit's original formulation, For any possible at least ten billion people, all with a very high quality life, there must be much larger imaginable whose existence, if other things are equal, would better, even though its members have lives that barely worth living. (Parfit 1984: 388)
ABSTRACT We argue that the economic evaluation of health care (cost–benefit analysis) should respect individual preferences and incorporate distributional considerations. Relying on does not imply subjective welfarism. propose a particular non‐welfarist approach, based concept equivalent income, show how it helps to define weights. illustrate feasibility our approach with empirical results from pilot survey.
