Who Cares About Equity? A Social Norm Revisited
Public Lecture by Univ.-Prof. Bernhard Kittel
Hörsaal H10
Rathausstraße 19, 1010 Vienna
Vortrag
We introduce a three-person redistribution game with preplay communication. Three focal points of the game are derived from different equity standards and Rawls' di fference principle. An experimental test con firms our hypothesis that equity in terms of effort-proportionality is not pursued at the group level. Only a large `middle class' and/or institutional hurdles that limit the power of the less productive prevent highly productive players from being expropriated.
