Are Elites Meritocratic and Efficiency-Seeking? Evidence from MBA Students

Elites disproportionately influence policymaking, yet little is known about their fairness and efficiency preferences–key determinants of support for redistributive policies. We investigate these preferences using an incentivized lab experiment with a group of future elites–Ivy League MBA...

Hope, Noise, and the Efficiency of Perfect Meritocracy
Beltrametti, Luca; Cardullo, Gabriele - 2024
This paper explores the economic effects of imperfect meritocracy in recruitment and career advancement. We compare two career promotion mechanisms: a fully meritocratic system and a "noisy" one, that allows less productive workers to advance. Our model shows that imperfect meritocracy in...

Meritocratic Labor Income Taxation
Berg, Kristoffer; Håvarstein, Morten; Stubhaug, Magnus E. - 2024
Surveys and experiments suggest that people hold workers more responsible for income gains stemming from merit, such as education, than circumstances, such as parental education. This paper shows how to design income taxes that account for merits. First, we introduce social welfare functions...

The Meritocratic Illusion: Inequality and the Cognitive Basis of Redistribution

Can inequality in rewards result in an erosion in broad-based support for meritocratic norms? We hypothesize that unequal rewards between the successful and the rest, drives a cognitive gap in their meritocratic beliefs, and hence their social preferences for redistribution. Two separate...

What is fair? : experimental evidence on fair equality vs fair inequality

Many societies aim to design policies based on meritocratic fairness, which involves two principles: (i) paying individuals with equal performance equally (fair equality) and (ii) paying individuals with higher performance more (fair inequality). Yet, often it is impossible to respect both...
