Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Choices involving risk significantly affect the distribution of income
and wealth in society. This paper reports the results of the first
experiment, to our knowledge, to study fairness views about risktaking,
specifically whether such views are based chiefly on ex ante
opportunities or on ex post outcomes. We find that, even though
many participants focus exclusively on ex ante opportunities, most
favor some redistribution ex post. Many participants also make
a distinction between ex post inequalities that reflect differences
in luck and ex post inequalities that reflect differences in choices.
These findings apply to both stakeholders and impartial spectators.
