Bishop, Buhong Zheng. 330 $aVolume 16 of Research on Economic contains a selection of thirteen papers from the Second Biannual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Economic Inequality, Berlin, July, 2007. This conference brings together both established scholars in the field of income distribution as well as advanced graduate students and new Ph.D's. The multi-day conference provides a forum for over 150 participants to share their work with one another. The papers contained in this volume are selected from a few of the many different sub-fields represented at the conference. As the title suggests a major emphasis of the volume is to collect work on the inequality of opportunity. An additional emphasis of the volume is on inequality measurement issues. Finally, the volume is designed to present work from both senior researchers and as well as emerging scholars. The volume begins with an essay on equal liberties by Serge-Christophe Kolm. The second paper examines the relationship between inequality and envy. The next four papers address the inequality of opportunities. Empirical studies of the equality of opportunity include Africa, Italy, Germany, and the United States. The measurement section also contains four papers. The topics covered in these papers include welfare analysis with ordinal data, unit consistency and multidimensional inequality indices, unit consistency and intermediate inequality indices, and the examination of two newly rediscovered inequality measures originally introduced by Bonferroni and De Vergotini. The volume also includes papers on the intergenerational transfer of income inequality and poverty in the US and Germany, income inequality and mobility in Argentina, the use of experimental methods to understand inequality aversion, and the recognition that measuring unemployment is an ethical problem, not simply an exercise in statistical measurement. 410 0$aResearch on economic inequality ;$vv. 16. 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xEconomics$xMacroeconomics$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xEconomic Conditions$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science$xPublic Policy$xEconomic Policy$2bisacsh 606 $aMacroeconomics$2bicssc 606 $aWelfare economics$2bicssc 606 $aEquality$vCongresses 606 $aPoverty$vCongresses 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xEconomics$xMacroeconomics. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xEconomic Conditions. 615 7$aPolitical Science$xPublic Policy$xEconomic Policy. 615 7$aMacroeconomics. 615 7$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aEquality 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a339.2 701 $aBishop$b John A$0614244 701 $aZheng$b Buhong$01561220 712 12$aSociety for the Study of Economic Inequality$d(2nd :$f2007 :$eBerlin) 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778086203321 996 $aInequality and opportunity$93827752 997 $aUNINA
