摘要：We conduct a laboratory experiment to study how demand for redistribution of income dependson self-interest, insurance motives, and social concerns relating to inequality and efficiency. Ourchoice environments feature large groups of subjects and real world framing, and differ with respectto the source of inequality (earned or arbitrary), the cost of taxation to the decision maker, the deadweightloss of taxation, uncertainty about own pre-tax income, and whether the decision-maker isaffected by redistribution. We estimate utility weights for the different sources of demand forredistribution, with the potential to inform modeling in macroeconomics and political economy
