This paper analyses support for reducing inequality and for redistribution to specific groups in Europe and Central Asia. Using the Life in Transition Surveys, it examines differences in redistributive preferences across countries and time, as well as determinants of individual preferences, testing for motivations such as self‐interest, past and expected future social mobility, beliefs about fairness, as well as ideology and risk preferences. The extent to which different groups are perceived as deserving of government support is found to vary considerably, with the disabled, the elderly and families with children being the most favoured groups. The motives for redistribution towards different groups are also not uniform – self‐interest appears to be a basis for assistance to the elderly and families with children, whereas values and beliefs are associated with support for the working poor and the unemployed.

2006-2016年欧洲和中亚的再分配偏好

本文分析了减少不平等以及重新分配给欧洲和中亚特定群体的支持。使用“转型中的生活调查”，它研究了各个国家和时间在重新分配偏好方面的差异，以及个人偏好的决定因素，测试了诸如个人利益，过去和预期的未来社会流动性，对公平的信念以及意识形态等动机。和风险偏好。人们发现，不同群体应得到政府支持的程度差异很大，其中残疾人，老年人和有孩子的家庭是最受青睐的群体。再分配给不同群体的动机也不尽相同-自我利益似乎是帮助老年人和有孩子的家庭的基础，
