Rawls affirms an Equal Liberty Principle that guarantees equal basic or constitutional liberties for all citizens and a Difference Principle that requires inequalities in the distribution of certain social and economic benefits, the primary social goods, to be set so that the long-...

We point out that a simple test of the mechanism of CP violation can be performed by a measurement of the CP asymmetries in exclusive and inclusive radiative rare decays. We show that the rate asymmetries ∆Γ = Γ(B → fγ)− Γ(B+ → f̄γ) for certain final states f can be predicted in a theoretically clean way. Some implications for b → sl+l− decays are discussed.

Does School Tracking Affect Equality of Opportunity? New International Evidence This paper investigates whether at the interaction between family background and school tracking affects human capital accumulation. Our a priori view is that more tracking should reinforce the role of parental privilege, and thereby reduce equality of opportunity. Compared to the current literature, which focuses o...
