Abstract

Many multitier polities have some scheme of territorial-based redistribution, which plays a crucial role in mitigating territorial inequality. This article looks at the public opinion on inter-regional transfers and argues that: (1) perceptions of aggregate electoral support for interpersonal redistribution in the region affect support for inter-regional redistribution independently of perceptions about the region’s economic conditions and (2) perceptions of high electoral support for interpersonal redistribution among the region’s affluent can lead them to favor territorial transfers, because these transfers may work as a mechanism for local redistribution cost displacement. We test our argument using a survey experiment in which we provide information about regional economic conditions and aggregate demand for interpersonal redistribution. Our contribution highlights that the aggregate demand for interpersonal redistribution within regions is not necessarily endogenous to regions material conditions, and that the perception of this aggregate demand by the affluent affects their inter-regional redistributive preferences.

关于当地再分配需求的信息对富裕群体支持领土转移的影响

许多多层政体都有一些基于地域的再分配方案，这在缓解地域不平等方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本文研究了公众对地区间转移支付的看法，认为(1) 对地区内人际再分配的总体选举支持的看法会影响对地区间再分配的支持，而与对地区经济状况的看法无关；(2) 对地区内富裕阶层人际再分配的高选举支持的看法会导致他们倾向于地区间转移支付，因为这些转移支付可以作为地方再分配成本转移的机制。我们通过一个调查实验来验证我们的论点，在这个实验中，我们提供了有关地区经济状况和人际再分配总需求的信息。我们的贡献突出表明，区域内人际再分配的总需求并不一定是区域物质条件的内生因素，富裕人群对这种总需求的感知会影响他们的区域间再分配偏好。
