dc.description.abstract | We conduct a laboratory experiment where third-party spectators can redistribute
resources between two agents, thereby offsetting the consequences
of controllable and uncontrollable luck. Some spectators go to the
limits and equalize all or no inequalities, but many follow an interior allocation
rule previously unaccounted for by the fairness views in the literature.
These interior allocators regard an agent’s choice as more important
than the cause of her low income and do not always compensate bad uncontrollable
luck. Instead, they condition such compensation on the agent’s
decision regarding controllable luck exposure, even though the two types
of luck are independent. | nb_NO |
