我们分析了在根据收入进行昂贵(积极)排序的社会中,人们对再分配的偏好。我们确定了再分配的新动机,即个人支持征税以减少排序的动机。我们描述了一个简单的收入分配条件,这意味着即使是相对富裕的选民——收入高于平均水平——也会更喜欢完全平等(因此没有分类),而不是有昂贵分类的社会。我们证明了对于相对平均的收入分配,这个条件是满足的。我们还把这个条件与一些统计性质联系起来,这些统计性质是由一大类分布函数满足的。
We analyze preferences over redistribution in societies with costly (positive) sorting according to income. We identify a new motivation for redistribution, where individuals support taxation in order to reduce the incentives to sort. We characterize a simple condition over income distributions which implies that even relatively rich voters—with income above the mean—will prefer full equality (and thus no sorting) to societies with costly sorting. We show that the condition is satisfied for relatively equal income distributions. We also relate the condition to several statistical properties which are satisfied by a large family of distribution functions.
