Redistributive Conflicts and Preferences for Tax Schemes in Europe (2010, background): “Following these lines, a great deal of research has been done on the determinants of preferences for redistribution at the individual level during the last decade (Harms and Zink, 2003; Lübker, 2007).”
Income inequality and solidarity in Europe (2012, background): “Researchers however fi nd inconsistent evidence and therefore often doubt the ‘empirical utility’ of the Meltzer-Richard model (Kenworthy & McCall, 2008; Lübker, 2007).”
Inequality, Public Opinion and Redistribution (2007, background): “Normative views on this issue tend to vary considerably across countries (Kelley and Evans, 1993; Marshall et al., 1999; Kelley and Zagorski, 2005; Lübker, 2006).”
Economic inequality and public demand for redistribution: combining cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence (2016, background): “…inequality and demand for redistribution, as it is claimed by the median-voter hypothesis, might be effectively confounded by institutional differences that relate to both an inherent logic of solidarity adopted by the public and actual inequality (Lübker, 2007; Larsen, 2008; Dallinger, 2010).”
The effect of macroeconomic and social conditions on the demand for redistribution: A pseudo panel approach (2013, background): “Bowles and Gintis (2000) find a negative relationship between income inequality and the demand for redistribution; Meltzer and Richard (1981) and Aalberg (2003) find a weak positive relationship; and Lübker (2007) and Kenworthy and McCall (2008) find no relationship.”
The paradox of inequality: income inequality and belief in meritocracy go hand in hand (2019, background): “Despite the reality of increasing inequalities, however, the trend has not been accompanied by growing popular concern (Alesina and Glaeser, 2004; Lübker, 2007; Kenworthy and McCall, 2007; Brooks and VC The Author(s) 2019.”
Public support for redistribution: what explains cross-national differences? (2010, background): “As a result, identical levels of income inequality are differentially valued, leading to different demands for redistribution (Lübker, 2004, 2007).”
