Inequality of Opportunity in Wealth: Levels, Trends and Drivers in Germany

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper studies inequality of opportunity (IOp) in individual net wealth in Germany from 2002 to 2019 using the Socio‐Economic Panel (SOEP). Applying the ex‐ante IOp framework, we quantify the share of wealth inequality attributable to immutable circumstances and benchmark it against IOp in gross labour earnings.

High‐Fidelity Measurement‐Based Detection Values and Roles of Three‐Dimensional Joint Space Width in Evaluation of Knee Osteoarthritis

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
A 0.1 mm reference mesh defines resolution thresholds for 3D joint space width mapping in medial knee osteoarthritis across KL 0–4. To balance fidelity and practicality, a 0.3 mm mesh provides the most consistent performance across conditions; 0.5 mm is acceptable under a less stringent error tolerance for medJSW; and up to 1.0 mm is suitable only for ...
