Egalitarianism and its empirical operationalization

1.我们正在开发一个微观模拟模型，以评估运气在决定健康方面的作用，以及它如何影响我们对健康不平等的看法。模拟分析不受真实世界数据的限制，因为我们为分析创建数据，并且非常适合评估机会均等的观点在受控的经验环境中如何发挥作用。 2.我们使用《健康与退休研究》评估了老年人的健康机会均等。我们目前正在改进分析，以更好地模拟童年和父母因素对老年人健康的影响。

1. We are developing a micro-simulation model to assess the role of luck in determining health and how it affects our views on which health inequalities are unfair. Simulation analyses are free from real-world data constraints as we create data for the analyses and ideally suited to assess how the view of equality of opportunity plays out in a controlled empirical setting. 2. We assessed (un)equal opportunity of health among older adults using the Health and Retirement Study. We are currently refining the analysis to better model influences of childhood and parental factors on the health of older adults.
