Developing Metrics for Equity, Diversity and Competition is a groundbreaking book in the field of educational research. Equity, diversity and competition are critical to our understanding of social justice and the provision of effective education for everyone, and this book develops a new coherent scientific approach to measuring them. New theory and methodologies based on previous research by the author are introduced in school and university settings. They are mathematical in nature, but have a wide range of applications within mixed-methods approaches and include:











warranted weighting systems for constructing league tables







game theoretic approaches to analysing power and influence







indices for measuring equity in student attainment







indices for measuring competition







modelling the educational awards market







calculating the optimal size of research groups







measuring diversity.
