Preschool Duration, Family Background and Long‐Term Outcomes: Evidence From the Expansion of École Maternelle in France
This paper analyses the long‐term effects of preschool education in France. We focus on the effect of preschool duration on educational attainment and labour market earnings in adulthood. Building on an old tradition of free and universal pre‐primary education, France implemented in the late 1960s a large‐scale expansion of preschooling facilities, leading to a massive increase in the supply of preschool. We rely on the independent variation acro…
Characterization of the multi-group Gini Segregation index
Segregation analysis is concerned with the way in which mutually exclusive groups are dissimilarly distributed across non-overlapping organizational units. We axiomatically derive a novel multi-group measure of segregation, the Gini Segregation index, which values segregation as a form of dissimilarity between groups’ distributions. The index coincides with the volume spanned by the zonotope representation of the data (a generalization of the seg…
Robust dissimilarity comparisons with categorical outcomes
The analysis of many phenomena requires partitioning societies into groups and studying the extent at which these groups are distributed with different intensities across relevant non-ordered categorical outcomes. When the groups are similarly distributed, their members have equal chances to achieve any of the attainable outcomes. Otherwise, a form of dissimilarity between groups distributions prevails. We characterize axiomatically the dissimila…

Urban poverty: Measurement theory and evidence from American cities
We characterize axiomatically a new index of urban poverty that i) captures aspects of the incidence and distribution of poverty across neighborhoods of a city, ii) is related to the Gini index and iii) is consistent with empirical evidence that living in a high poverty neighborhood is detrimental for many dimensions of residents’ well-being. Widely adopted measures of urban poverty, such as the concentrated poverty index, may violate some of the…
Preferences for redistribution and exposure to tax-benefit schemes in Europe
This paper provides evidence that attitudes towards redistribution are associated with the extent of generosity of the redistributive context experienced by the individual, as measured by the likelihood of receiving positive benefit transfers net of fiscal contribution. We estimate reduced form tax-benefit equations with the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), and match the implied parameters to the respondents of the Europea…
Robust Inequality of Opportunity Comparisons: Theory and Application to Early Childhood Policy Evaluation
This paper develops a criterion to assess equalization of opportunity that is consistent with theoretical views of equality of opportunity. We characterize inequality of opportunity as a situation where some groups in society enjoy an illegitimate advantage. In this context, equalization of opportunity requires that the extent of the illegitimate advantage enjoyed by the privileged groups falls. Robustness requires that this judgment be supported…
Robust Inference for Inverse Stochastic Dominance
The notion of inverse stochastic dominance is gaining increasing support in risk, inequality, and welfare analysis as a relevant criterion for ranking distributions, which is alternative to the standard stochastic dominance approach. Its implementation rests on comparisons of two distributions’ quantile functions, or of their multiple partial integrals, at fixed population proportions. This article develops a novel statistical inference model for…
