Redistribution varies if inequality is due to luck vs. effort, but luck has many manifestations. A new study by Marcel Preuss, Germán Reyes, Jason Somerville and Joy Wu shows people redistribute less when luck creates unequal opportunities. Why? People underestimate the significant impact of small advantages. Read more in the IZA Newsroom: https://lnkd.in/eTr5FUjE

A new IZA paper by Adrianto Adrianto, Avner Ben-Ner, Jason Sockin, and Ainhoa Urtasun reveals that employees in U.S. manufacturing firms with Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) — the most common system in the United States for implementing broad-based employee ownership — experience significantly higher job satisfaction compared with their counterparts in conventional firms. The research draws on nearly 200,000 employee reviews from the online platform Glassdoor, providing a detailed analysis of the impact of employee ownership on worker well-being. Workers in employee-owned firms report greater overall job satisfaction, with particularly strong results in areas such as company culture and work-life balance.

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence and automation is driving profound changes in the way we work, produce goods, and generate wealth. But as machines take on more tasks traditionally done by humans, how should governments adapt their tax systems? This question is at the heart of a recent IZA Policy Paper by Spencer Bastani and Daniel Waldenström. Their research on the implications of AI and automation for taxation in advanced economies offers insights into how these technologies might reshape labor markets, income distribution, and the broader economy.

Research by Hans Henrik Sievertsen and Sarah Smith, conducted through a survey experiment with over 3,000 U.S. participants, tested the effect of opinions expressed by senior economists from leading U.S. universities on topical issues. The study found that while both male and female experts could sway public opinion, the same opinions were more persuasive when expressed by female economists.
