人们的政治态度的原因在很大程度上是未知的。我们研究这个问题，利用纵向数据彩票中奖者。通过比较彩票意外之财前后的人们，我们发现中奖者倾向于转而支持右翼政党，变得不那么平等。胜利越大，越多的人倾向于右翼。这种关系对于（i）定义右翼的不同方式，（ii）各种估计方法，以及（iii）以先前投票的人为条件的方法是稳健的。对男性来说是最强的。我们的研究结果与投票部分由人类自身利益驱动的观点一致。金钱显然使人们更右翼。
The causes of people's political attitudes are largely unknown. We study this issue by exploiting longitudinal data on lottery winners. Comparing people before and after a lottery windfall, we show that winners tend to switch towards support for a right-wing political party and to become less egalitarian. The larger the win, the more people tilt to the right. This relationship is robust to (i) different ways of defining right-wing, (ii) a variety of estimation methods, and (iii) methods that condition on the person previously having voted left. It is strongest for males. Our findings are consistent with the view that voting is driven partly by human self-interest. Money apparently makes people more right-wing.
