Attitudes Toward Economic and Social Inequality
Postdoc fellow Efraín García Sánchez and colleagues study how people in Spain and Colombia view redistributive policies and social inequality.
New research from Economic Mobility Fellow Efraín García Sánchez and colleagues examines perceptions of economic inequality and policies to reduce it in Colombia and Spain. For example, in Spain, when an international institution like the United Nations (vs. a left-wing party) presents information about economic inequality, political conservatives find the source more credible. This perception of higher credibility then increases their support for redistributive policies. These studies show how attitudes toward inequality can operate in diverse contexts.
