Before
There are two main outcomes of interest. These are:
1) Concern about inequality (measured in questions 9 and 10)
2) Preferences for redistribution (measured in questions 11 to 14)
(see the questionnaire in the documents section)
The key research questions are as follows:
- How accurately do people perceive inequality?
- Do people prefer lower levels of inequality then what currently exists?
- How accurately can people perceive their place in the national income distribution?
- What are the underlying preferences for redistribution in each country?
- Are preferences for redistribution elastic to information?
- What types of information about inequality have the largest effect on preferences for redistribution?
- Are people’s preferences for redistribution predominantly influenced by just their place in the distribution or a combination of the overall level of inequality and mobility?
- How do the answers to the questions above vary based upon the background characteristics of respondents, such as income, political preferences and gender?
- Does information about inequality effect people's beliefs about what the wage ratios are and should be between workers and CEOs?
(see the analysis plan in the documents section)
