财富会降低对再分配的支持吗？来自埃塞俄比亚住房抽签的证据

Exploiting the variation in wealth created by an Ethiopian housing lottery, we show that general attitudes towards redistribution and inequality aversion are not affected by a large positive wealth shock. New homeowners are, however, less supportive of taxing homeowners, highlighting a potential conflict between self-interest and preferences for redistribution. We also find evidence of endogenous beliefs: relative to losers, the wealthier winners are less likely to emphasize the role of luck in explaining economic success. We interpret this finding in terms of a self-serving bias.
