本文提出了一个积极的经济公平理论，通过描述人们在不同背景下共享的公平价值观来争取普遍性。这项研究试图将这些潜在的价值观与更具体的情境感知效应（例如，框架效应），这可能会对报告的公平性产生影响。所提出的理论的核心是问责制原则，粗略地说，这要求一个人的公平分配（例如，收入）与他可以影响的相关变量成比例地变化（例如，工作努力），但不是根据他不能合理影响的那些（例如，身体残疾）。电话访谈和书面问卷调查的结果支持这一理论。
This paper presents a positive theory of economic fairness which strives for generality by characterizing the fairness values which people share across differing contexts. The study attempts to isolate these underlying values from the more situation-specific perceptual effects (e.g., framing effects) which may have an impact on reported fairness. Central to the proposed theory is the Accountability Principle which, roughly speaking, requires that a person's fair allocation (e.g., of income) vary in proportion to the relevant variables which he can influence (e.g., work effort), but not according to those which he cannot reasonably influence (e.g., a physical handicap). The results of telephone interviews and written questionnaires are presented in support of the theory.
