The Altruistic Rich? Inequality and Other-Regarding Preferences for Redistribution (2017, background): “…to these beliefs (for example that inequality rewards the hard-working and punishes the lazy), we would observe lower levels of support for redistribution from the rich in states with higher inequality and a higher normative tolerance for it (Benabou and Tirole 2006; Alesina and Glaeser 2004).”

The effect of macroeconomic and social conditions on the demand for redistribution: A pseudo panel approach (2013, background): “Studies that analyse the effect of income inequality on actual government redistribution (rather than public opinion) mostly find a positive effect of income inequality on redistribution (for example, Alesina and Glaeser, 2004; Bénabou, 1996; Moene and Wallerstein, 2001).”
The Geographic Distribution of Political Preferences (2010, background): “Alesina & Glaeser (2004) go so far as to argue that proportional representation is a direct manifestation of revolutionary agitation by leftists.”

Electoral Institutions and the Politics of Coalitions: Why Some Democracies Redistribute More Than Others (2006, background): “The first goes back to Rokkan’s (1970) well-known explanation for the choice of electoral systems (see also Alesina and Glaeser 2004 and Boix 1999).”
Labor Market Policy: A Comparative View on the Costs and Benefits of Labor Market Flexibility (2010, background): “Second, ethnic homogeneity may lead to national consensus in providing public goods such as those supplied by social insurance programs (Alesina and Glaeser 2004), and Scandinavia may fit this bill better 5 Adverse selection occurs when people with the highest risks of needing insurance…”
For Protection and Promotion: The Design and Implementation of Effective Safety Nets (2008, background): “The extent of democracy (Lindert 2004) and the form of its institutions—for instance, proportional versus majoritarian representation—seem to matter as well (Alesina and Glaeser 2004).”
Tastes, Castes, and Culture: The Influence of Society on Preferences (2011, background): “Several reasons have been put forward as an explanation for this difference; among them are differences in political institutions, and ethnic heterogeneity (Alesina and Glaeser 2004) or self-fulfilling beliefs and multiple equilibria (Piketty 1995, Bénabou and Tirole 2005).”

More inequality, less social mobility (2009, neutral): “In more unequal societies, the median voter will tend to lie further below the mean income and may have a stronger preference for redistribution (Alesina and Glaeser, 2004).”
Migration and welfare state solidarity in Western Europe (2009, methodology): “According to the argument put forward by Alesina and Glaeser (2004), it is expected that there is a negative link between welfare expenditure and ethnic fractionalization.”
