对再分配的偏好可能会受到价值观和对分配正义的信念以及自我利益的影响。如果人们认为贫困是由个人无法控制的情况造成的，他们可能更愿意对穷人进行更多的再分配。因此，对收入原因的信念可能会影响再分配的需求。或者，如果这些信念与收入相关，并且自我利益没有得到适当的控制，那么这些信念对再分配偏好的影响可能是虚假的。他们还可以衡量激励成本问题。使用社会调查数据，我发现，自我利益不能解释这些信念对再分配偏好的影响。(C)2001 Elsevier Science BY保留所有权利。
Preferences for redistribution may be influenced by values and beliefs about distributive justice as well as by self-interest. People may prefer more redistribution to the poor if they believe that poverty is caused by circumstances beyond individual control. Therefore, beliefs about the causes of income may affect demand for redistribution. Alternatively, the effect of these beliefs on redistributive preferences may be spurious if they are correlated with income, and self-interest is not properly controlled for. They may also measure incentive cost concerns. Using social survey data, I find that self-interest cannot explain the effect of these beliefs on redistributive preferences.
