An associative, but not necessarily unital, ring \(R\) is called idempotent if \(R=R^2\). For an idempotent ring \(R\), a left \(R\)-module \(M\) is called unital if \(M=RM\), and is called non-degenerate if for \(m\in M\), \(Rm=0\) implies \(m=0\). For an idempotent ring \(R\), \(R\)-Mod denotes the full subcategory of all left \(R\)-modules whose objects are unital non-degenerate modules, whereas Mod-\(R\) is defined in the analogous fashion. A ring \(R\) is called \(s\)-unital if for each \(a\in R\), there is \(b\in R\) such that \(a=ab=ba\). Two idempotent rings \(R\) and \(S\) are called Morita equivalent if the categories \(R\)-Mod and \(S\)-Mod are equivalent and the categories Mod-\(R\) and Mod-\(S\) are equivalent. The author constructs an example of a simple unital (von Neumann) regular ring which is Morita equivalent to an idempotent non-degenerate ring which is not regular, in contrast with the unital case. Also, it is shown that an idempotent ring \(R\) is Morita equivalent to a regular ring if and only if the following conditions hold: (i) for any two idempotents \(e,f\in R\) and every \(x\in eRf\), there exists \(y\in fRe\) such that \(x=xyx\); (ii) \(R\) is generated as an ideal by its idempotents. Finally, the author proves that an \(s\)-unital ring Morita equivalent to a regular ring is again regular.
