Chapter 5 Equal-equivalents for Inequality, Welfare, and Liberty: Concepts and Policy

Serge Kolm

A chapter in Inequality, Mobility and Segregation: Essays in Honor of Jacques Silber, 2012, pp 117-134 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: The concepts of the “equal-equivalents” permit the definition of one-dimensional and multidimensional inequalities, of individual “welfare” (the same function for all individuals) and, as a result, of classical inequality properties and of the optimal allocation in “macrojustice” (optimum income taxation and transfers, amounting in particular to equal liberty of choice in different domains).
