Has the COVID-19 pandemic changed redistributive beliefs and preferences?ΒΆ
Short Description: The module repeated the income redistribution module from 2014 and 2019 SOEP-IS. The COVID-19 pandemic is a historic opportunity to analyze how beliefs about causes of income and redistributive attitudes respond to a crisis. Leveraging the earlier modules allows analyzing whose beliefs and preferences changed and how.
Methodological Details: The respondents received two questions measuring attitudes towards income redistribution and two questions on the beliefs of the causes of low and high income.
