Inequality aversion and voting on redistribution
通过实验研究收入再分配投票中不平等厌恶的影响，发现当富人居多数时公平偏好更可能起作用，而穷人占多数时投票结果如同选民只受自利驱动。
Some people have a concern for a fair distribution of incomes while others do not. Does such a concern matter for majority voting on redistribution? Fairness preferences are relevant for redistribution outcomes only if fair-minded voters are pivotal. Pivotality, in turn, depends on the structure of income classes. We experimentally study voting on redistribution between two income classes and show that the effect of inequality aversion is asymmetric. Inequality aversion is more likely to matter if the "rich" are in majority. With a "poor" majority, we find that redistribution outcomes look as if all voters were exclusively motivated by self-interest.
