2011
This paper proposes and discusses two different approaches to the definition of inequality in health: the ex-ante and the ex-post approach. It proposes strategies for measuring inequality of opportunity in health based on the path-independent Atkinson equality index. The proposed methodology is illustrated using data from the British Household Panel Survey; the results suggest that in the period 2000–2005, at least one-third of the observed health equalities in the UK were equalities of opportunity.

2020
This essay will examine legislations on benefit corporations across Europe and the US, through a focus on whether or not elections by a corporation – or any other entity – to become a social purpose corporation or to cease to be one entail the arising of a right to withdraw on dissenting shareholders. Starting with the analysis of the legal framework, which applies to operations such as conversions from a for-profit corporation to a benefit corporation or the other way around, the essay will investigate their effects on the right to withdraw of dissenting shareholders both on unincorporated business entities and on corporations.
