Preliminary draft not yet available

  • Experimental study on the social preferences of the general public for compensation in different contexts.
  • We randomize the cause of the cost inequality to see the shift in preferences in different contexts.
  • This allows us to see to what extent respondents choose to compensate and therefore with which normative principles they align.
  • But also where they put the cutpoint between legitimate and illegitimate inequality as developed in the EOp literature.
