The Just Transition Institute (Instituto para la Transición Justa or ITJ in Spanish) is a key governmental body established in Spain with the objective of identifying and adopting measures for a fair transition towards a greener, low-carbon economy. As part of Spain's Just Transition Strategy,...

Carbon taxes on household consumption can simultaneously increase public funding and promote greener consumption habits, an appealing combination for the just transition plans of the European Union (EU). However, concerns about equity and public support pose challenges. This paper assesses the...

Market forces beyond individual control are a central driver of income inequality, a phenomenon we refer to as market luck. In meritocratic societies, this raises the question of whether individuals perceive such inequalities as fair. To address this question, we conduct experiments in the US,...

This Brief introduces the Justice Pillars Towards Evidence-Based Reform (JUPITER) initiative, a standardized yet flexible, country-based assessment tool that evaluates the effectiveness of justice systems across countries. Developed by the World Bank's Global Program on Justice and the Rule of...

This Brief examines the complex relationship between statutory courts and customary law systems, highlighting the historical context that fostered legal pluralism in many countries. It argues that attempts to replace customary practices with uniform legal frameworks have largely failed,...

Judicial map reforms refer to an emerging stream of reform programs that attempts to improve the responsiveness of the justice system by adjusting the courts' location, size, and jurisdiction to demographic and socio-economic factors. Building on the World Bank's experience in supporting client...

Was verstehen Deutsche unter sozialer Gerechtigkeit und wie priorisieren sie verschiedene Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien? Eine aktuelle Bevölkerungsumfrage zeigt, dass Regelgerechtigkeit und Chancengerechtigkeit als wichtigste Dimensionen angesehen werden, während Verteilungsgerechtigkeit von den...

Despite crowdfunding platforms' growing involvement in financing welfare, related ethical issues have received little scholarly attention. To address this gap, we focus on GoFundMe, the leading welfare crowdfunding platform in the US, to examine whether it facilitates the establishment of a just...

Zu den wichtigsten Sicherheitsversprechen der Sozialpolitik gehört eine auskömmliche Rente. Doch schon heute erleben viele Menschen beim Übergang in die Rente erhebliche Einschränkungen ihres Lebensstandards, und die zukünftige Finanzierung des Sicherheitsversprechens wird kontrovers...

This paper establishes three novel findings on fairness and redistribution by combining theory-driven experimental games with large-scale surveys in the U.S. and five European countries. First, individuals revealing egalitarian, libertarian, or meritocratic fairness preferences in experimental...

Die Einführung von Politikinstrumenten zur Dekarbonisierung der Sektoren Gebäude und Mobilität bringt abhängig von bestimmten (sozioökonomischen) Bedingungen unterschiedliche Effekte für verschiedene Haushaltsgruppen mit sich. Die (vermeintliche) Regressivität von (primär preisbasierten)...

Knowledge of the factors driving people's views on redistribution in the Global South remains limited. While these societies occupy top positions in inequality rankings, redistribution levels tend to be lower. We combine survey and experimental data from Mozambique and Viet Nam to test whether...

In all successful economic societies, trust is a unity factor. By contrast, the absence of trust leads to poor economic performance and negative social implications. In this paper, we uncover the relationships among social trust, corruption, and the duration of economic crises. Our theoretical...

Inequality often arises from strategic interactions among individuals. This is so because risky investments can not only be resolved by chance (natural risk), but also by others' actions (social risk). We study how these different sources of inequality shape fairness judgments and the level of...

The aim of this paper is to identify key enables, gaps and policy mechanisms that facilitate the creation of quality jobs, promote inclusive economic transformation and ensure that all communities, particularly the most vulnerable, are supported by Just Transition. Drawing on comparative...

A circular economy can help prevent the severe impacts of our resource consumption and can be a solution to the massive dependence on raw materials from other countries. The EU has proposed several circular economy measures since the launch of its Circular Economy Action Plan in 2015, including...
