Preferences for Redistribution
Open accessAbstract
This paper discusses what determines the preferences of individuals for redistribution.We review the theoretical literature and provide a framework to incorporate various effects previously studied separately in the literature.We then examine empirical evidence for the US, using the General Social Survey, and for a large set of countries, using the World Values Survey.The paper reviews previously found results and provides several new ones.We emphasize, in particular, the role of historical experiences, cultural factors and personal history as determinants of preferences for equality or tolerance for inequality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
