Fairness In Disparity: Challenging The Application Of Disparate Impact Theory In Fair Housing Claims Against Insurers, Matthew Jordan Cochran
Fairness In Disparity: Challenging The Application Of Disparate Impact Theory In Fair Housing Claims Against Insurers, Matthew Jordan Cochran
Matthew Jordan Cochran
This article responds to courts and commentators that have expressed willingness to apply the familiar "disparate impact" analysis--which is a creation of Title VII (employment discrimination) jurisprudence--in suits against homeowners' insurers. Specifically, these insurers' credit-based pricing mechanisms systems are attacked under the Fair Housing Act as having a discriminatory effect on members of protected classes with poor credit. Unfortunately, there are a number of legal, conceptual, and practical arguments against application of this Title VII standard in such cases. Yet courts endorsing this standard do not appear to have given due consideration to the possibility that some disparities simply might …

Ronald Mann
This paper examines how the risks of debt, financial distress, and bankruptcy shift over the life course. Comparing parallel data from the 2007 Survey of Consumer Finances and the 2007 Consumer Bankruptcy Project, we analyze use of the bankruptcy process as a product of the distribution of unplanned events, the ability of households to use credit markets to limit the adverse effects of such events, and barriers in access to the bankruptcy system. Our findings suggest two things. One, bankrupt households generally come from the bottom quartiles of the population in assets and income and the top quartile in debt, …

Roberto Rodríguez-Gómez
Con información de las Encuestas Nacionales de Ingreso y Gasto de los Hogares (ENIGH) se analizan para el periodo 2000‐2008, los cambios ocurridos en los patrones de acceso a las instituciones de educación (públicas y privadas) y becas educativas gubernamentales, según el decil de ingreso económico de los hogares. El objetivo del trabajo consiste en valorar la pertinencia de las políticas focalizadas aplicadas en el sector en los últimos años y que expresan la intención de priorizar la atención hacia la población más pobre. Los resultados indican que son limitados los logros de estas políticas, pues con excepción de la …
