摘要

社会保险动机考虑的是处于潜在不利处境的其他人的福利。但是，它们在增加对再分配的支持方面的作用尚未得到充分了解。这里报道的实验研究了分配决策，参与者在不被告知他们属于哪个收入阶层的情况下决定收入分配。这与在彩票情况下做出的决定形成了对比。彩票决策对自己也有同样的风险，但它们缺乏社会背景，即对他人收入的影响。与彩票决策相比，分配决策的风险更小(更平等)。此外，在分配决策中选择平等(而不是在彩票决策中观察到的风险厌恶)与对福利政策的支持正相关，这已经通过一项实验前调查来衡量。这项研究观察到社会环境的关键作用，它促进了对他人福利的考虑，以促进对再分配的支持。

The presence of a social context increases support for redistribution: Inequality aversion and risk aversion

Social insurance motivations consider the welfare of others who are in potentially unfavorable situations. However, their role in increasing support for redistribution is not yet fully understood. The experiment reported here examined distributional decisions in which participants determined income distribution without being informed to which income class they would belong. This was contrasted with decisions made in lottery situations. Lottery decisions had the same risk for oneself, but they lacked a social context, namely the influence on the incomes of others. Less risky (more equal) decisions were observed in distributional decisions than in lottery decisions. Further, the selection of equality in distributional decisions (but not the risk aversion observed in lottery decisions) was positively correlated with support for welfare policies, which had been measured by a pre-experiment survey. This study observed the critical role of social context, which promotes the consideration of the welfare of others in fostering support for redistribution.
