When is inequality fair? An experiment on the effect of procedural justice and agency

May 2019 · Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization

We investigate how the perceived fairness of an income distribution depends on the beliefs about the process that generates the inequality. Specifically, we examine how two crucial features of this process affect fairness views: (1) Procedural justice - equal treatment of all; (2) Agency – one's ability to determine his/her income. We do this in a lab experiment by differentially varying ... [Show full abstract] subjects’ ability to influence their earnings. Comparison of ex-post redistribution decisions of total earnings under different conditions indicate both agency and procedural justice to matter for fairness. Highlighting the importance of agency, we observe lower redistribution of unequal earnings resulting from risk when risk is chosen freely. Highlighting the importance of procedural justice, we find introduction of inequality of opportunity to significantly increase redistribution. Despite this increase, under inequality of opportunity, the share of subjects redistributing none remain close to the share of subjects redistributing fully revealing an underlying heterogeneity in the population about how fairness views should account for inequality of opportunity.

In this report I shall simply attempt to give you an idea of the purport of these debates. On no account can I deal in detail with the contributions, nor can I do their quality justice. In the absence of our Indian friends (Arunachalam of Madras) we have had the privilege of benefitting from an introduction with Professor Lemoigne's paper. He set the scene for us remarkably well and gave us a ... [Show full abstract] referential lexical framework that was to serve us throughout this session.

The Normative Approach to the Measurement of Multidimensional Inequality

August 2003

John A. Weymark

This article provides an introduction to the normative approach to multidimensional inequality measurement. Multivariate generalizations of the procedures used to construct univariate inequality indices from social evaluation orderings are described. Axiomatizations of multivariate Atkinson, Kolm-Pollak, and generalized Gini indices are discussed. Maasoumi's Econometrica (1986) two-stage ... [Show full abstract] procedure for constructing a multivariate inequality index is critically examined. A dominance criterion proposed by Tsui Social Choice and Welfare (1999) that takes account of the dependence between the individual distributions of the attributes is also considered.

Chapter 8. Inequality as Process

March 2016

Andrew Abbott

The chapter first shows that out inequality concept is inherently normative. The term is in fact used to mean “injustice.” The normative implications of three measurement problems affecting inequality are then discussed: linearity, additivity, and generality. More general measurement problems are the improbability of inequality and metrizability; it may be that justice is specifically ... [Show full abstract] conceptualized as unmeasurable. The chapter then analyzes the problems raised for concepts on inequality by the simple-minded social ontology of classical liberalism, and starts to sketch the issues involved in a more general processual account of injustice.
