This article employs a laboratory experiment to investigate whether inter-ethnic differences alter the positive effect of identifying redistribution recipients on support for redistribution. Highly-paid participants (“the rich”) are randomly assigned to interact with poorly-paid participants...

We use a controlled laboratory experiment to study the causal impact of income decreases within a time period on redistribution decisions at the end of that period, in an environment where we keep fixed the sum of incomes over the period. First, we investigate the effect of a negative income...

This paper explores the mechanism behind the literature’s finding that living close to poor individuals of another ethnicity decreases support for income redistribution. We employ a laboratory experiment to extract causal relationships for some of the plausible forces at play. Highly-paid...

Labor market opportunities and wages may be unfair for various reasons, and how workers respond to different types of unfairness can have major economic consequences. Using an online labor platform, where workers engage in an individual task for a piece-rate wage, we investigate the causal...
