Hierarchical Modelling of Disparities in Preferences for Redistribution*
使用分层模型评估2000年代欧洲国家和美国各州在再分配需求上的差异,发现个体和背景变量的影响在欧美既有相同也有不同,且与1980-90年代的证据有重要差异。
Abstract We evaluate the magnitude of the disparities in the demand for redistribution across European countries and American states during the 2000s. Modelling the demand for redistribution in a multilevel framework, we identify the determinants that contribute the most in predicting support for redistribution. We observe that individual characteristics and contextual variables are associated with demand for redistribution in the same way in Europe and in the US, whereas others exert different influences on the probability of supporting redistribution. We find important differences from some well‐established evidence obtained from data collected for the 1980s and the 1990s.
