在过去几十年中，再分配在政治进程中受到关注。目前，国内生产总值的22%用于社会支出，并用于再分配目的。在文献中，第一种方法涉及收入不平等及其对公共政策的影响。较新的模型综合了向上流动、党派行为和税收等方面。虽然大多数方法只提到转移是公共支出的唯一形式，但包括公益物在内的转移改变了情况。在两个人口亚群中，投票支持再分配的动机取决于个人是纳税人还是从公共转移中受益。此外，在人口老龄化时期，接受转移支付的群体，特别是退休人员，成为占主导地位的群体，从而比雇员群体获得更多的选举权重。
Redistribution has gained attention in the political process in the last decades. At present, a share of 22 percent of the GDP is related to social expenditures and serves redistributive purposes. In the literature, first approaches deal with aspects of income inequality and its impact on public policy. Newer models integrated aspects of upward mobility, partisan behavior and taxation. While most of the approaches only refer to transfers as the only form of public expenditures, including public goods changes the picture. With two population subgroups, incentives when voting for redistribution depend on whether an individual is taxpayer or benefits from public transfers. Moreover, in times of an aging population, the group of transfer recipients, especially retirees, becomes the dominant group thereby gaining more electoral weight than the group of employees.
