Abstract

Zusammenfassung Zu starke Ungleichheit gefährdet den Zusammenhalt in der Gesellschaft. Die Politik soll möglichst allen eine angemessene Teilhabe am gemeinsamen Wohlstand sichern. Aber Ungleichheit unterliegt einem steten Wandel. Wer in jungen Jahren aus knappen Verhältnissen startet, mag nach erfolgreicher Karriere zu den Spitzenverdienern gehören. Und wer daran glaubt, bald selbst zu den Reichen zu gehören, hat womöglich weniger Verlangen danach, den eigenen Aufstieg mit progressiven Steuern und mehr Umverteilung zu erschweren. Wie weit klaffen Wahrnehmung und Wirklichkeit der Aufstiegschancen auseinander, und wie bestimmen die wahrgenommenen Aufstiegschancen die politische Unterstützung für mehr oder weniger Umverteilung? Alesina, Alberto, Stantcheva, Stefanie and Edoardo Teso (2018), Intergenerational Mobility and Preferences for Redistribution, American Economic Review 108(2), 521–554.
