我们在实验室实验中调查了经济失败或成功的经历是否会影响人们对超越自身利益的再分配的偏好。受试者通过彩票或基于努力的锦标赛产生高收入或低收入。然后，一组受试者可以重新分配另一组受试者的收入。我们发现，当锦标赛（彩票）产生不平等时，输掉锦标赛（彩票）的个人比所有其他类型的分配者进行的重新分配要多得多。当控制自我选择到锦标赛的不同结果时，这种效应仍然成立，并且可以用群体内或群体外的偏见以及责任归因中的自私偏见来解释。这些发现对公共政策和组织中薪酬计划的设计具有影响。
We investigate in a laboratory experiment if the experience of economic failure or success shapes people’s preferences for redistribution beyond self-interest. Subjects generated a high or a low income either through a lottery or through an effort-based tournament. A sub-set of subjects could then redistribute the income of another sub-set of subjects. We find that individuals who lost the tournament (lottery) redistribute significantly more than all the other types of distributors when the inequality is generated by the tournament (lottery). The effect still holds when controlling for self-selection into different outcomes of the tournament and can be explained by in- or out-group bias and a self-serving bias in responsibility attribution. These findings have implications for public policies and for the design of compensation schemes in organizations.
