?:abstract
  • "Economists should be interested to understand the factors behind the assessment of inequality since it drives the individuals' willingness to do their bit to a functioning society. So far, the topic has been largely neglected in the economics literature. We shed light on the factors behind the individual assessment of inequality: Why do some individuals consider the inequality in their country as just while others do not? We propose a conceptualization of the assessment process and test it using survey data for Germany. The proposed fairness assessment function is shown to be of empirical relevance. The individual is shaped by very different forces: distributive preferences, beliefs on the sources of inequality, satisfaction with democracy and socio-economic characteristics. Given that a functioning society requires its citizens to do their bit, our insights are relevant for many political and economic contexts such as tax compliance, welfare benefit cheating, political participation, and citizens' general public involvement."Als Datengrundlage für die Analyse der verschiedenen Einflussgrößen auf die Beurteilung sozialer Ungleichheit dient der ALLBUS aus den Jahren 1991, 2000 und 2004.
