Speciale KVS/ESE-sessie tijdens de European Economic Association Congress in Rotterdam

Inequality in socioeconomic outcomes is pervasive and persistent. In the past four decades, philosophers have made a distinction between morally acceptable and unacceptable sources of inequality. According to one well-known definition, inequality arising from inequality of opportunity should be considered unacceptable. Policies should therefore compensate individuals with disadvantageous circumstances, so that outcomes experienced by a population depend only on factors for which persons can be considered to be responsible. 

This session offers three flash talks presenting various perspectives on equality of opportunity, followed by a panel discussion about the future of research in this area.
