This research is a cross-national study of distributive justice norms concerning income distribution. Three laboratory experiments are used to determine what principles individuals choose when judging the fairness of income distributions. The experimental design draws on both normative and empirical research on distributive justice. It is hypothesized that individuals make allocation judgments by relying on four major allocation principles -- equality, need, merit, and efficiency. Allocation norms are analyzed across a diverse population within the United States and cross-nationally by replicating the experiments in Norway. This research is not only be of interest to scholars in fields concerned with distributive justice, including political science, sociology, economics, philosophy, but also to those interested in broader social and political issues such as institutional legitimacy, the development of the welfare state, social policy, and social and political behavior.

这项研究是关于收入分配的分配正义规范的跨国研究。三个实验室实验被用来确定个人在判断收入分配的公平性时选择什么原则。实验设计借鉴了关于分配公平的规范和实证研究。假设个人通过四大分配原则--平等、需要、优点和效率--做出分配判断。通过在挪威复制实验，在美国和跨国家范围内对不同人群的分配规范进行了分析。这项研究不仅对政治学、社会学、经济学、哲学等与分配正义有关的领域的学者感兴趣，也对那些对更广泛的社会和政治问题感兴趣的人感兴趣，如制度合法性、福利国家的发展、社会政策以及社会和政治行为。
