On the relation between accuracy and fairness in binary classification
read the original abstract
Our study revisits the problem of accuracy-fairness tradeoff in binary classification. We argue that comparison of non-discriminatory classifiers needs to account for different rates of positive predictions, otherwise conclusions about performance may be misleading, because accuracy and discrimination of naive baselines on the same dataset vary with different rates of positive predictions. We provide methodological recommendations for sound comparison of non-discriminatory classifiers, and present a brief theoretical and empirical analysis of tradeoffs between accuracy and non-discrimination.

Do Fair Models Reason Fairly? Counterfactual Explanation Consistency for Procedural Fairness in Credit Decisions
Outcome-fair credit models often exhibit hidden procedural bias through inconsistent reasoning across groups, which the CEC framework mitigates by enforcing consistent feature attributions via counterfactuals.
