The Attitudinal Legacy of Communist Labor Relations
比较前共产主义欧洲国家与西方国家1987-93年工人态度数据，发现前共产主义国家公民更倾向平等主义、对工作满意度更低、更支持工会和国家干预，但随收入差距扩大，他们对理想收入差距的看法也向更大不平等调整。
This study of workers' attitudes compares data from International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) surveys for former communist countries in Europe with ISSP data for Western countries over the period 1987-93, which covers the beginning of the transition to a market economy for the former communist countries. Consistent with their hypothesis that communist-run economies left an attitudinal "legacy," the authors find that the citizens of former communist countries evinced a greater desire for egalitarianism, less satisfaction with their jobs, and more support for strong trade unions and state intervention in the job market and economy than did Westerners. Over the course of the period studied, however, residents of the former communist European countries perceived sizable increases in occupational earnings differenltals, and they adjusted their views of the differentials that "ought to" exist in their economies in the direction of greater inequality.
