Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examine the relationship between competitive behavior and redistributional preferences. Although Erkal et al. (2011) showed that subjects who are ranked first are less likely to engage in the act of giving to their group members than those who are ranked second, we did not observe such a non-monotonic relationship between earnings and the likelihood of giving. In addition, egalitarian preference had a positive influence on the transfer to other members, while competition preferences had a negative impact on the transfer. These variables did not affect the productivity of the subject due to the presence of opportunity of reward transfer. Other-regarding individuals did not alter the level of efforts with or without the chance of voluntary redistribution in Japanese subjects.
