ftr-491	Kaplow, Louis	A Note on Horizontal Equity	2022	6	.pdf	application/pdf	2386	142	63	The fact that many distributive theories have this property without giving HE independent significance provides no justification for Musgrave's induction that HE should be seen as having independent significance.6 Moreover, since most (including Musgrave) would ultimately adopt a particular theory (or perhaps a mix of two), the fact that HE is incidentally satisfied in other theories would be of little relevance. This defense is significantly more elaborate than the brief sketch he offered in his pioneering treatise2 or in his subsequent work on the subject Musgrave's latest contribution is important because prior literature developing and applying HE measures gives little justification for this norm.	cache/ftr-491.pdf	txt/ftr-491.txt
