Fair Shares and Selective Attention
通过大规模实验研究人们对努力和运气的关注如何影响公平决策，发现随机获得优势的参与者更少关注真实努力信息并保留更多经济剩余，而鼓励关注努力可减少优势地位对分配的影响。
Attitudes toward fairness and redistribution differ along socioeconomic lines. To understand their formation, we conduct a large-scale experiment on attention to merit and luck and the effect of attention on fairness decisions. Randomly advantaged subjects pay less attention to information about true merit and retain more economic surplus, and this effect persists in subsequent impartial decisions. Attention also has a causal role: encouraging subjects to look at merit reduces the effect of an advantaged position on allocations. This suggests that attention-based policy interventions may be effective in reducing polarized views on inequality.
