“…On this basis, many scholars have measured the inequality of opportunity. The measuring methods include parametric estimates ( Bourguignon et al, 2003 , 2007 ; Carpantier and Sapata, 2013 ; Gong et al, 2017 ) and non-parametric estimates ( Checchi and Peragine, 2010 ; Ferreira and Gignoux, 2011 ; Jiang et al, 2014 ). Using parametric method to measure inequality of opportunity needs to set up the model in advance, and the measurement results depend on the determined model form.…”

Based on the Chinese General Social Survey database (2010–2015), this article explores the relationship between income inequality and residents’ subjective well-being from the perspective of inequality of opportunity and inequality of effort. We find that inequality of opportunity has a negative impact on subjective well-being in China, where inequality of effort has a positive impact. Our empirical results are robust for changing the inequality indicators. In the sub-sample studies, consistent conclusions are obtained in rural areas, whereas in urban areas only inequality of effort has a significant impact. The results of mechanism study show that inequality of opportunity decreases residents’ sense of fairness, and inequality of effort increases residents’ sense of fairness, thus affecting their subjective well-being. The results of this study provide a good response to the inconclusive research findings on the impact of income inequality on subjective well-being.

“…The research (Carpantier & Sapata, 2013) studies inequality of opportunity in France and its regions. The authors reveal that the measures of inequality of opportunity largely vary across regions, and that this is due to differences in reward schemes and in the impact of the non responsibility factors of income.…”

Inequality of opportunity, a matter of space?

Inequality has become a very important issue in developed countries in the last decades. Among the different definitions of inequality, inequality of opportunity stands out as one of the main topics. At what extent are personal circumstances out of control the root of unequal outcomes? Space, defined as the place where people live, can constrain the set of opportunities that people face or, even, people with the same personal circumstances, excepting region, and the same set of opportunities can obtain very different outcomes depending on the region. This issue is measured in Spain by using the 2011 EU‐SILC microdata.
