摘要：According to standard theory founded on Harsanyi (1953, 1955) a social welfare
function can be appropriately based on the individual’s approach to choice under
uncertainty. We investigate whether people really do rank distributions
according to the same principles irrespective of whether the comparison involves
money payoffs in a risky situation or the distribution of income among persons.
We use a questionnaire experiment to focus on the two different interpretations
of the Harsanyi approach. There are important, systematic differences that
transcend the cultural background of respondents.
