?:abstract
  • "This thesis consists of two self-contained parts, which examine the distributional consequences of globalization [...] and the ability to conduct marketfriendly reforms from the perspective of industrialized countries [...]. In the rest part of this thesis, I analyze how international trade and capital mobility affect the income distribution in industrialized countries. The second part deals with general attitudes of voters toward a range of policies in the fields of the labor market, social security and tax system. [...] The analyses of the individual determinants of policy preferences point at the relevance of economic beliefs as an explanation for the individual heterogeneity in reform acceptance. Individuals who perceive that everyone is responsible for his own economic situation and that effort pays o are also more likely to support marketfriendly reforms and lower degree of income redistribution. Despite the relevance of individual beliefs, our understanding of the factors that explain these perceptions is still incomplete. Against this background, I focus on the role of television and analyze whether it has the power to persistently affect individual beliefs about the drivers of success in life [...]. For that purpose, I exploit a natural experiment on the reception of West German television in the former German Democratic Republic. After identifying the impact of Western television on individual beliefsand attitudes in the late 1980s, longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel is used to test the persistence of the television effect on individual beliefs during the 1990s. The empirical findings indicate that Western television exposure has made East Germans more inclined to believe that eort rather than luck determines success in life. Furthermore, this effect still persists several years after German reunification."Daten des ALLBUS 2000 werden verwendet, um Einstellungen gegenüber Steuermodellen genauer zu untersuchen.
