Equity Concerns Are Narrowly Framed
实验发现人们在分配决策中会狭隘地关注某一具体收益成分，而非整体结果，导致不同框架下分配不同，涉及税收和薪酬等场景。
Distributional decisions regularly involve multiple payoff components. In a series of experiments, we show that individuals sometimes exhibit narrow equity concerns: applying fairness preferences narrowly on a specific component of payoffs rather than on broader payoff consequences. This behavior results in different distributional decisions depending on which payoff component we frame individuals to consider. We document narrow equity concerns in an exceedingly simple setting—in which payoff components are tokens worth $0.01 and $0.02—and in context-rich applications including tax policy and worker compensation.
