Abstract: In this paper we study several methods of ranking profiles ofopportunity sets by taking as a primary notion equality of opportunity,undestood as equality of choice sets. Each of these social decision ruleslooks first at the size of the common opportunity set available to allmembers of the society. If this is not decisive, additional criteria areused in a lexicographic procedure. Axiomatic characterizations of eachmethos are also provided. Carmen Herrero, Iñigo Iturbe-Ormaetxe & Jorge Nieto
