内容简介：
Empirical evidence suggests that humans are more accepting of inequality arising from differences in merit rather than luck. We provide causal evidence for this finding using an online linear public goods experiment with heterogeneous endowments. Such hete rogeneity may result either from luck or from performance in a prior real - effort task. Over multiple rounds, participants first vote on whether to implement a costly centralis ed mechanism that punishes free - riding and then decide how much to contribute to the public good . A cross all our treatments and compared to the poor, on average, the rich free - ride more even in the presence of punishment . The poor free - ride significantly more in a treatment where endowments are determined by luck as opposed to merit. Finally, the poor vote for stronger punishment of free - riding when endowments are luck - based rather than merit - based . This result suggests that even the poor are more accepting of merit - based endowment heterogeneity
