Title: Solidarity and Discrimination within and between Generations:
Evidence from a Dutch Population Sample (with Hans Schmeets and Peter
Werner)

 

Abstract:

Using an artefactual field experiment, we elicit revealed preferences for
solidarity of different age groups towards the same and other age groups
among a large and heterogeneous sample of the Dutch population. Preferences
are elicited with a solidarity game and linked to a rich and unique
administrative database, enabling us to explore demographic and
socio-economic correlates of the elicited preferences. In the solidarity
game a winner of a money amount is asked ex-ante how much they are willing
to transfer to a loser who receives no money. We find that participants on
average have a strong preference for ex-ante solidarity, as they are willing
to transfer on average about 40% of the money they receive. At the same
time, there is a mismatch between belief in solidarity and actual
solidarity. Participants are overly pessimistic about what others will
transfer. Moreover, we observe age-based discrimination: a significant share
of participants exhibits stronger solidarity preferences with their own age
group than with other age groups. We also measure stated solidarity
preferences in various domains and observe that revealed solidarity
preferences correlate with some self-reported attitudes about general
solidarity. In addition, revealed solidarity preferences correlate with
opinions on social security systems and self-reported field behavior
involving solidarity to some extent.
