Economic development, income inequality and preferences for redistribution * (2010, background): “…toward redistributive policies and government redistribution and subsequent levels of inequality (Shapiro and Young 1989; Blekesaune and Quadagno 2003; Kenworthy 2004; Kenworthy and Pontusson 2005; Iversen 2005, Finseraas 2006; Brooks and Manza 2006, 2007; Kelly 2004; Kenworthy and McCall 2008).”
Public support for redistribution: what explains cross-national differences? (2010, background): “Against the background of the ‘politics of retrenchment’ approach (Pierson, 1996), which highlights the self-interest of politicians in re-election, citizens’ acceptance of redistribution became a recognized explanation for the generosity of social policies (Brooks and Manza, 2006).”
Inequality, Public Opinion and Redistribution (2007, background): “…researchers studying social policy generosity (or ‘welfare state effort’) are government transfers as a share of GDP and social policy expenditures as a share of GDP (Hicks, 1999; Iversen and Cusack, 2000; Huber and Stephens, 2001; Kittel and Obinger, 2003; Castles, 2004; Brooks and Manza, 2006).”
Differential Responsiveness in Europe: The Effects of Preference Difference and Electoral Participation (2015, background): “This measure can be interpreted as a general indicator of support for the welfare state, and refers to the role that the government should play in the redistribution of wealth within a country (see e.g. Brady and Finnigan 2014; Brooks and Manza 2006).”
COVID‐19 policies in Germany and their social, political, and psychological consequences (2020, background): “Theoretical and empirical research support the claim that it is, in fact, an interrelationship: public opinion affects policy-making (Brooks & Manza, 2006; Burstein, 2003; Page & Shapiro, 1983) and policies affect public opinion (Ebbinghaus & Naumann, 2017; Mettler & Soss, 2004; Pierson, 1993).”
Insecure Alliances: Risk, Inequality, and Support for the Welfare State (2012, background): “We also know that these differences are associated with variations in levels of spending and program generosity (Brooks and Manza 2006a; 2006b; 2007; Kang and Powell 2010; Svallfors 1997; 2004).”
