CLASSICAL HORIZONTAL INEQUITY AND RERANKING: AN INTEGRATING APPROACH [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003 The last 20 years have seen a significant evolution in the literature on horizontal inequity (HI) and have generated two major and "rival" methodological strands, namely, classical HI and reranking. We propose in this paper a class of ethically flexible tools that integrate these two strands.
