Resisting reform in the public sector : theory and historical evidence from the UK

Brufal, Oliver - 2025

Reform in the public sector treats organisations as equal under one law. This is despite large inequalities in practical, de facto, powers. I argue that these inequalities can distort meritocratic reforms. I collected and digitised individual-level data on thousands of entrants to the British...

Are elites meritocratic and efficiency-seeking? : evidence from MBA students

Preuß, Marcel; Reyes, Germán; Somerville, Jason; Wu, Joy - 2025

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...

Market luck : skill-biased inequality and redistributive preferences

Yusof, Jeffrey; Sartor, Simona - 2025

Market forces beyond individual control are a central driver of income inequality, a phenomenon we refer to as market luck. In meritocratic societies, this raises the question of whether individuals perceive such inequalities as fair. To address this question, we conduct experiments in the US,...

Born that way : beliefs about genetics' importance and redistribution preferences

Meritocratic fairness justifies inequality when it stems from performance. Yet performance is influenced by one's genetics. I investigate whether individuals' redistribution preferences are affected by their beliefs about genetics' role in generating performance inequality. In an incentivized...
