|Notes: Estimates from ordered logistic regressions reported.|Robust standard error|s, clustered at PSU l|evel in parenthese|s. Dependent variab|le in panel I. is a 5-s|tep measure of the p|reference for a sma|ller gap between the rich and the|
|poor, ranging from 1 – strongly disagree to 5 – strongly agree|. Dependent variable i|n panel II is a 1-10 s|cale measure wher|e 1 corresponds to t|he belief that larger|income differences in|centivize effort and|10 corresponds to the belief that|
|incomes should be made more equal. Country dummies inclu|ded in all models, but n|ot reported. Signific|ance: * 0.10; ** 0.0|5; *** 0.01.|||||
