Revealed preferences for equal college access may be due to beliefs that equal access increases societal income or income equality. To isolate preferences for those goods, we implement an online discrete choice experiment using social statistics generated from true variation among commuting zones. We find that, ceteris paribus, the average income that individuals are willing to sacrifice is (1) $4,984 to increase higher education enrollment by 1 standard deviation (14 percent); (2) $1,168 to decrease rich/poor gaps in higher education enrollment by 1 standard deviation (8 percent); and (3) $2,900 to decrease the 90/10 income inequality ratio by 1 standard deviation (1.66). In addition, we find that political affiliation is an important moderator of preferences for equality. While both Democrats and Republicans are willing to trade over $4,000 to increase higher education enrollment by 1 standard deviation, Democrats are willing to sacrifice nearly three times more income to decrease either rich/poor gaps in higher education enrollment or the 90/10 income inequality ratio by 1 standard deviation.

确定平等的大学录取，收入和收入平等偏好

对于平等地接受大学的明显偏爱可能是由于这样的信念，即平等地接受大学可以增加社会收入或收入平等。为了隔离对这些商品的偏好，我们使用了通勤区之间真实变化产生的社会统计数据，进行了在线离散选择实验。我们发现，在其他条件下，个人愿意牺牲的平均收入为（1）4,984美元，以使高等教育入学率增加1个标准差（14％）；（2）$ 1,168，将高等教育入学人数的贫富差距减少1个标准差（8％）；（3）$ 2,900，将90/10的收入不平等比率降低1个标准差（1.66）。此外，我们发现政治联系是平等偏好的重要调节者。虽然民主党人和共和党人都愿意交易超过4美元，
