Abstract
A core question in the contemporary debate on distributive justice

is how the fair distribution of income is affected by differences in talent

and effort. Important theories of distributive justice, such as strict

egalitarianism, liberal egalitarianism and libertarianism, all give different

answers to this question. This paper presents the results from a

version of the dictator game where the distribution phase is preceded

by a production phase. Each player’s contribution is a result of an

exogenously given talent and a chosen effort. We estimate simultaneously

the prevalence of three main principles of distributive justice

among the players as well as the distribution of weights they attach to fairness considerations.
