摘要：Ideas about what is "fair" above and beyond the individuals.position in the income ladder determine preferences for redistribution. We study the dynamic evolution of di¤erent economies in which redistributive poli- cies, perception of fairness, inequality and growth are jointly determined. We show how including fairness explains various observed relationship between inequality, redistribution and growth. We also show how dif- ferent beliefs about fairness can keep two otherwise identical countries in di¤erent development paths for a very long time.
