Equity

Equity may refer to:

Finance, accounting and ownership

  • Equity (finance), the value of an ownership interest in property, including shareholders' equity in a business. Equity or shareholders´ equity is part of the total capital of a business.
    • Stock, the generic term for common equity securities is 'stocks'
    • Home equity, the difference between the market value and unpaid mortgage balance on a home
    • Private equity, stock in a privately held company
    • Equity in income of affiliates, an accounting term referring to the consolidated or unconsolidated ownership in affiliate companies
  • Stock, the generic term for common equity securities is 'stocks'
  • Home equity, the difference between the market value and unpaid mortgage balance on a home
  • Private equity, stock in a privately held company
  • Equity in income of affiliates, an accounting term referring to the consolidated or unconsolidated ownership in affiliate companies
  • Fairness

  • Equity (law), a branch of jurisprudence in common law jurisdictions.
  • Equity (law)

    In jurisdictions following the English common law, equity is the set of maxims that "reign over all the law" and "from which flow all civil laws". The Chancery, the office of equity, was the "office that issued the writs that were the foundation of the common law system". Equity is wholly "unaffected by any state laws” (Pomeroy) and is "everything, even without law".

    Equity is commonly said to "mitigate the rigour of common law", allowing courts to use their discretion and apply justice in accordance with natural law. In practice, modern equity is limited by substantive and procedural rules, and English and Australian legal writers tend to focus on technical aspects of equity. Twelve "vague ethical statements", known as the maxims of equity, guide the application of equity, and an additional five can be added.

    A historical criticism of equity while it developed was that it lacked fixed rules, with the Lord Chancellor occasionally judging in the main according to his conscience. The rules of equity later lost much of their flexibility, and from the 17th century onwards, equity was rapidly consolidated into a system of precedents (or case law) much like its common-law cousin.

    Equity (economics)

    Equity or economic equality is the concept or idea of fairness in economics, particularly in regard to taxation or welfare economics. More specifically, it may refer to equal life chances regardless of identity, to provide all citizens with a basic and equal minimum of income, goods, and services or to increase funds and commitment for redistribution.

    Overview

    Inequality and inequities have significantly increased in recent decades, possibly driven by the worldwide economic processes of globalisation, economic liberalisation and integration. This has led to states ‘lagging behind’ on headline goals such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and different levels of inequity between states have been argued to have played a role in the impact of the global economic crisis of 2008–2009.

    Equity is based on the idea of moral equality. Equity looks at the distribution of capital, goods and access to services throughout an economy and is often measured using tools such as the Gini index. Equity may be distinguished from economic efficiency in overall evaluation of social welfare. Although 'equity' has broader uses, it may be posed as a counterpart to economic inequality in yielding a "good" distribution of wealth. It has been studied in experimental economics as inequity aversion. Low levels of equity are associated with life chances based on inherited wealth, social exclusion and the resulting poor access to basic services and intergenerational poverty resulting in a negative effect on growth, financial instability, crime and increasing political instability.
