A very few empirical studies indicate that, it is also important to consider the normative influence in the opinion modeling process.

These include 1) conceptual differences on the scope of the marriage institution, 2) questions about how much change constitutes deinstitutionalization, 3) the possibility of confusing a short-run anomaly with a long-run trend, 4) the potential neglect of contradictory findings, and 5) the failure to consider the normative strengthening or institutionalization of new or revived practices.
To consider the normative implications of the choice of IRHI measure, we build on the observation that different measures embody different IRHI equivalence criteria reflecting alternative vertical equity judgements. 2 An IRHI equivalence criterion specifies how, given the joint distribution of health and income, an additional amount of health should be distributed so as to leave IRHI unchanged.
The idea of a bureaucracy cannot be considered good or bad in itself, and therefore we should, in each case, consider the inherently normative character of its socially structuring function and the potential moral implications - both intended and unintended - of that structure.
