The observed allocations are consistent with four different views of justice under uncertainty. …An important element for the public support of policies is their perceived justice. At the same time most policy … choices have uncertain outcomes. We report the results of a first experiment investigating just allocations of resources when …

Starting from Schelling (1960), several game theorists have conjectured that payoff equity might facilitate coordination in normal-form games with multiple equilibria - the more equitable equilibrium might be selected either because fairness makes it focal or because many individuals dislike...

We refine the understanding of individual preferences across social lotteries, whereby the payoffs of a pair of subjects are exposed to random shocks. We find that aggregate behavior is ex-post and ex-ante inequality averse, but also that there is a wide variety of individual preferences and...
