Meet the Oligarchs: Business Legitimacy and Taxation at the Top
研究对商业精英和政府的信任如何影响人们对顶层1%收入者征税的偏好，发现不信任会显著提高征税意愿，尤其在政府信任度低时效果更明显。
We study the causal impact of trust in business elites and trust in government on preferences for taxation at the top. Using new survey data, we find that distrust causes an increase in desired taxes on the top 1 percent. For example, our distrust-in-business-elites treatment leads to an increase in desired taxes on the top 1 percent of 2.4 percentage points (it closes 27 percent of the Democrat-Republican gap in tax preferences) when trust in government is low; a similar result is obtained for our distrust-in-government treatment.
