- W2925652808 abstract "This thesis makes use of advanced econometric tools to improve empirical frameworks and methods for measuring inequality of opportunity. In addition, we apply these empirical methods to measure inequality of opportunity in China ― a developing country with rising economic inequality and rapid economic growth. A conventional approach to measuring inequality of opportunity classifies outcomes such as the distribution of income, wealth and health status into two sets of factors: those beyond individuals' responsibility (“circumstance”) and those within individuals' responsibility (“effort”). Based on this framework, we model the correlation between circumstances and effort.In Essays I and II, we use a model allowing heteroscedasticity between circumstances and a latent class model to identify two different ways that circumstances could be affected by effort. First, different types, which are groups with individuals sharing the same circumstances, could have different effort distributions. Second, circumstances can have different effects on income for different levels of effort. Using these models, we measure inequality of opportunity in China at both provincial and national levels and find a higher inequality of opportunity than the conventional approach identifies.In addition, we examine educational inequality of opportunity using administrative data from a highly-ranked university. This study is different from most empirical literature in measuring inequality of opportunity in that graduate outcome, the outcome of interest, is a categorical variable. We use the multinomial regression model and stochastic dominance to study how graduates’ family backgrounds affect their graduate outcomes. We find that those who are from a low-income or from rural family are disadvantaged in receiving highquality higher education. Even though they are enrolled in a top university, they have less opportunity for a postgraduate degree." @default.
