Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents evidence from a lab experiment examining the effect of information regarding effort and opportunities in ex-post redistribution behavior. In the experiment, individuals are randomly selected into one of two groups, each endowed with different probabilities of earning $20. By exerting effort individuals can increase their probability of earning the $20, but conditional on effort the difference in probabilities remain constant. That is, different groups bestows individuals with different opportunities. After initial earnings are determined, I examine redistribution decisions using a dictator game where the dictator has $20 and the receiver $0. Treatments vary (i) the level of inequality of opportunities and (ii) information regarding receivers’ effort and opportunities. I find dictators consistently revealing a lower concern for low effort receivers. However, dictators do not significantly consider opportunities — either the receivers’ or their own — when redistributing.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
