We investigate how fairness in a laboratory experiment framed explicitly as a market exchange relates to preferences for fair trade products before and after the market experiment. We find that the willingness to buy at a higher price when higher wages are paid to the worker correlates both with the choice for a fair trade product before the laboratory experiment and with the willingness to pay a positive fair trade premium, elicited at the end of the experiment. These results support the notion that fairness preferences as assessed in laboratory experiments capture preferences for fair behavior in comparable situations outside the laboratory.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;border:none'><tr><td style='border:solid #D4DADE 1.0pt;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'></td><td width=12 style='width:9.0pt;border:solid #D4DADE 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'></td></tr></table><p><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>11:00-12:00 Dirk Engelmann </span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>(U Berlin)<br>"Preferences over Taxation of High Income Individuals: Evidence from Survey and Laboratory Experiments" (with Eckhard Janeba, Lydia Mechtenberg, and Nils </span><a href="https://doodle.com/poll/mbgd5keimb2pim7v"><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext'>Wehrhöfer</span></a><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>abstract:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Mobility of high income individuals across borders puts pressure on governments to lower taxes. A central tenet of the underlying theoretical and empirical models is that mobile individuals react to tax differentials through migration, and in turn immobile households vote for lower taxes in the face of a migration threat. In light of behavioural economics research it is not clear, however, whether this premise holds. In particular, political ideology might influence voting on taxes. We use an experimental survey design and elicit answers from more than 3,000 households in the German Internet Panel (GIP. We use various treatments to understand the role of mobility and ideology in tax choice. We observe substantial deviations from the predicted theoretical equilibrium. In many cases comparative static results prevail, however. Furthermore, political ideology matters: left-leaning households choose higher taxes than right-leaning persons, and center-right leaning individuals tend to emigrate more when the tax at home is high. We compare the results with those from a closely related lab experiment, in which subjects appear to behave more in line with standard predictions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:#333333'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;border:none'><tr><td style='border:solid #D4DADE 1.0pt;border-right:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'></td><td width=12 style='width:9.0pt;border:solid #D4DADE 1.0pt;border-left:none;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm'></td></tr></table><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Best regards,</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Gabriele Prochaska</span><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:DE-AT'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>University of Vienna<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://econ.univie.ac.at/"><span lang=EN-US>Department of Economics</span></a><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>1090 Vienna<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>+43-1-4277-37401</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
