This course offers an overview of different theories related to economics and justice to analyze issues such as the trade-off between equity and efficiency. The course discusses questions including: How do these theories operationalize equity? How do they deal with the trade-off between equity and efficiency? And how can they be incorporated in economic models? The course focuses in particular on Dworkin’s theory of equality of resources and Roemer’s theory of equality of opportunity. Dworkin’s theory makes use of devices such as auctions and hypothetical insurance markets that economists are very familiar with. Roemer has shown that his theory can be formulated in terms that can be tested empirically in different domains (e.g. income, education, health care). The course consists of lectures and working groups.
