Don't shoot yourself in the foot! A (real-effort task) experiment on income redistribution and voting
This paper reports results from a laboratory experiment that investigates the Meltzer–Richard model of equilibrium tax rates in which individuals are either low or high skilled workers and face a real-effort task that includes leisure at the work place. We find that a large proportion of low-skilled workers vote for the lowest tax rate (the one that gives them the lowest payoff), especially when the alternative tax rate is very high. However, thi…
Religious favoritism in Europe
This paper explores a highly controversial issue: while most European countries are secular, the governments of these countries widely support religious institutions. The arguments put forward by the median voter seem insufficient to explain the data. We show that if political parties are allowed to take an ideological position with respect to religion, the observed deviations from the most preferred policy by the median voter could be explained
Legal or illegal? Preferences on immigration
The political debate about regularisation programmes for undocumented migrants is a very controversial issue. The main goal of this article is to explain why governments decide to grant amnesties to illegal immigrants as a part of their immigration policy. We propose a simple political competition model in which we first derive the voters' preferences over a menu of regularisation programmes. Labour market conditions make skilled workers more pro…
Aversión a la desigualdad entre gitanos españoles. Un enfoque experimental
Este artículo es un primer intento de medir la aversión a la desigualdad en la población gitana. Para esto realizamos un experimento entre gitanos adultos residentes de un barrio marginal a las afueras de Vallecas (Madrid). Para analizar dicha variable se utilizó el mecanismo diseñado por Kroll & Davidovitz (2003) entre 38 voluntarios. Los resultados indican que: i) 52,6% de los individuos son aversos a la desigualdad; ii) existe una correlación …
