摘要

这项研究考察了收入不平等和再分配之间的联系。具体来说,研究市场收入不平等如何影响(1)税收和转移支付系统的规模,以及(2)税收和转移支付系统的再分配效应。政府决策的两种模型——中间选民模型和精英模型——表明不平等和再分配之间存在关系,但这两种模型预测了两者之间的不同关系。来自15个国家29年的面板数据被用来估计不平等和再分配之间的关系。结果与精英模型一致——收入在收入分配顶端的高度集中导致税收和转移支付系统的再分配效果较低。

How Income Inequality Affects Government Redistribution: The Median Voter Versus the Elites
This study examines the link between income inequality and redistribution. Specifically, how inequality of market incomes affects (1) the size of the tax and transfer system, and (2) the redistributive effect of the tax and transfer system. Two models of government decision-making — the median voter model and the elites model — suggest there is a relationship between inequality and redistribution and the models predict a different relationship between the two. Panel data from 15 countries over 29 years is used to estimate the relation between inequality and redistribution. The results are consistent with the elites model — a higher concentration of income at the top of the income distribution leads to a lower redistributive effect of the tax and transfer system.
