在1996年对俄罗斯成年人的代表性抽样中，穷人比富人更支持政府的再分配。然而，在那些预计自己的福利会下降的人中，对再分配的支持率更高，这种影响在目前富裕的人中最为强烈。上升的轨迹抑制了再分配的需求。在农村地区，对受教育程度较低的人、害怕失去工作的人、老年人和妇女的支持也更强。我们的研究结果是一致的阿尔伯特赫希曼的想法的“隧道效应”，即流动性（在两个方向）的前景影响需求的政府再分配。
Support for governmental redistribution tended to be greater for the poor than the rich in a representative sample of Russian adults in 1996. However, support for redistribution is higher amongst those who expect their welfare to fall, and this effect is strongest amongst the currently well-off. A rising trajectory inhibits demand for redistribution. Support is also stronger in rural areas, amongst those with less schooling, those who fear losing their job, the elderly, and amongst women. Our results are consistent with Albert Hirschman’s idea of a ‘tunnel effect’, whereby prospects of mobility (in both directions) influence demand for governmental redistribution.
