We examine the impact of multinational oil companies' (MOCs) corporate social responsibility (CSR) on gender equality for social equity using a combined propensity score matching and logit model. The result indicates a significant relationship between CSR and gender equality for social equity in...

Building on Rawls' theory of justice and Sen's theory of capabilities, I present an outline of social justice under climate shocks, illustrating it with the experiences of persons with disability. Social justice holds when inequality is responded to by rules that afford more primary goods, such...

Dieser Artikel rekonstruiert aus einer ordonomischen Perspektive, (a) welche Hindernisse einer verständigen Interpretation von John Stuart Mill im Wege stehen, (b) wie sein genereller Denkansatz beschaffen ist, (c) wie seine utilitaristische Ethik mit unterschiedlichen Gerechtigkeitskategorien...

In jüngster Zeit wird die Verteilung des öffentlichen Straßenraums durch verschiedene Akteur:innen vermehrt diskutiert und problematisiert. So wird die vermeintliche Dominanz des motorisierten Individualverkehrs (MIV) kritisiert und eine Umverteilung des öffentlichen Straßenraums gefordert....

Die weltweit anstehende sozial-ökologische Transformation wird für die Industrienation Deutschland weitreichende Konsequenzen haben. Vertreter von Post Growth-Ansätzen empfehlen für die unmittelbare Zukunft einen Übergang zu Null-Wachstum. Wir analysieren drei verschiedene...

Degrowth's search for a qualitatively and quantitively different economy is given legitimacy by the severity of the socio-ecological crisis, paired with a lack of evidence that resource use and environmental impact can be decoupled in absolute terms at a meaningful point in time and studies...

Digitally-disadvantaged languages face multiple inequities in the digital sphere including gaps in digital support that obstruct access for speakers, poorly-designed digital tools that negatively affect the integrity of languages and writing systems, and unique vulnerabilities to surveillance...

This chapter explores IP protectability of what may be broadly termed “folk music,” though, that is a term fraught with ambiguity, from an intellectual property social justice (IP-SJ) framework. Our IP-SJ approach helps illuminate how IP law and administration affect opportunities for...

I draw on new data to examine how donor-advised funds (DAFs), a fast-growing philanthropic option, relate to social progress. DAFs are distinguished by flexibility -- transforming complex assets and separating the timing of tax breaks from giving decisions. While DAFs are often classified by...

This Article introduces a framework for understanding and debating justice and its potential role in law and the legal system. Such a framework is, in our view, long overdue and responds to a fundamental hypocrisy in the law. Part I begins by introducing our “injustice framework,” which...

We experimentally investigate whether people generally perceive inheritance as effort-induced or luck-induced. By randomly matched two strangers in a lab setting, we test whether the sources of opportunity handed down from the 'testator' subjects determines later redistributive decisions among...

We are just at the beginning of the AI revolution and already it is transforming human society. In history only four other technologies have transformed human life as profoundly as AI will: steam power that powered the industrial revolution; electricity that transformed everything; the...

This article summarizes the core concept and development of common prosperity in China. Over the years, China laid out different polices to tackle the issue of social equity, yielding many positive results. But challenges still exist. The article examines the need to realize common prosperity in...

This paper examines how perceived importance of family background affect distributional pref-erences using two large-scale survey experiments. In the first experiment, we randomly inform respondents about the relationship between parental income and economic success later in life, which renders...

How does fairness affect individual incentives and efficiency in a free economy? We show that elementary distributive justice principles guarantee a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium in a finite economy where agents non-cooperatively choose their inputs and derive utility from their pay. Chief...

European societies have been experiencing growing income and wealth inequalities over the past few decades, and, accordingly, they are a topic of intense discussion. Although the population’s evaluation of inequalities as just or unjust is important for designing social policies, there has...

Rising inequality and widespread poverty, social unrest and polarization, gender and ethnic disparities, declining social mobility, economic fragility, unbalanced growth due to technology and globalization, and existential danger from climate change are urgent global concerns of our day. These...
