This paper investigates distributive justice using a fourfold experimental design : The ignorance and the risk scenarios are combined with the self-concern and the umpire modes. We study behavioral switches between self-concern and umpire mode and investigate the goodness of ten standards of...

This paper proposes a model that can be implemented to estimate the willingness to pay for distributive justice, defined as distribution according to desert. We derive a formula that allows one to recover the willingness to pay for distributive justice from fiscal data and the estimated...

We experimentally investigate four allocation mechanisms - all based on the fair division approach, with varying bid … elicitation methods and price rules - in terms of their allocation efficiency, distributional effects, and regularities in … complicating an efficient allocation.
