This paper tests whether effects of individual characteristics on redistributive preferences are constant across ideological subgroups. Using data from the U.S. General Social Surveys, we estimate ordered probit models for a full pooled sample, and liberal, moderate, and conservative subsamples. Wide cleavages in redistributive attitudes between liberals and conservatives, and between Democrats and Republicans are observed. Substantial gaps between Democrats and Republicans persist within ideological subgroups. Attitudinal differences across social classes exist for conservatives and moderates, but not liberals. Among moderates and conservatives, blacks are more likely than whites to support government redistribution. No black-white gap is observed among liberals. Though conservative women are more likely than conservative men to support major government involvement in redistribution, no gender gap emerges for liberals or moderates. Full sample results suggest that education has no discernible impact on redistributive attitudes, but subsample results strongly suggest that a college degree reinforces ideological effects.

对政府在美国重新分配收入中的作用的个人态度:按意识形态分组分析

本文测试了各个特征对再分配偏好的影响在各个意识形态亚组之间是否恒定。使用来自美国一般社会调查的数据,我们估计了全部样本以及自由,中度和保守子样本的有序概率模型。在自由主义者和保守主义者之间以及在民主党人和共和党人之间,人们在再分配态度上存在广泛分歧。在意识形态子群体中,民主党人和共和党人之间仍然存在巨大的差距。保守派和温和派在社会阶层之间存在态度差异,而自由派则不存在。在温和派和保守派中,黑人比白人更有可能支持政府的再分配。自由主义者之间没有观察到黑白差距。尽管保守派女性比保守派男性更有可能支持政府参与再分配,但对于自由主义者或温和派而言,性别差距不会出现。完整的样本结果表明,教育对再分配态度没有明显的影响,但子样本结果强烈表明,大学学位可以增强意识形态的影响。
