Revisiting the effect of growing up in a recession on attitudes towards redistribution
复制并扩展了Giuliano和Spilimbergo(2014)的研究,发现年轻时经历衰退的人更支持再分配,但仅对直接衡量再分配偏好的指标成立,其他指标结果不明确。
Summary Giuliano and Spilimbergo (2014) show that individuals who experienced a recession when young are more likely to favor redistribution in the short and long run. We revisit their analysis in three ways. First, we conduct a narrow replication in the General Social Survey and the World Values Survey; we successfully replicate the original results for outcomes that directly measure preferences for redistribution, but the results for other outcomes are less clear‐cut. Second, adding recent survey waves yields results similar to the narrow replication. Third, a wide replication in a different dataset (International Social Survey Programme) corroborates the original results.
