Накратко на български
Социалната идентичност и нейният wpływ върху желанието на хората за преразпределение на ресурси, например чрез по-високи данъци за богатите, са в центъра на анализа. Това помага за по-доброто разбиране на социалната мобилност и равенството на възможностите.

The Role of Social Identity on Preferences for Redistribution
The overall goal of the action is to understand and uncover the role of social identity on the formation of preferences for redistribution. To do this, the objectives of the proposed research are twofold: •O1: Investigate the effect of social identity on preferences for redistribution. •O2: Investigate the existence of multiple regimes and parameter heterogeneity on preferences for redistribution. Preferences for redistribution reflect the demand of the redistributive policies, describing the willingness of individuals to tax the rich more heavily and transfer resources to the disadvantaged. One of the major mechanisms of preferences for redistribution is social identity, which is a type of social interactions theory. The key idea is that conditional on a group membership, the preferences for redistribution depend not only on private incentives, but also on social incentives that make the preferences interdependent so that individuals exhibit similar or dissimilar behavior. The primary reason for focusing on social identity is that it provides a deeper understanding of the demand for redistribution with important policy implications on the welfare state, social mobility, and equality of opportunity. Furthermore, social identity suggests alternative types of redistribution such as associational redistribution, that targets group memberships as objects of redistribution (e.g., affirmative actions). This type of alternative form of redistribution is particularly important when policy makers aim at equality of opportunity. The literature has mainly focused on the effect of an individual’s characteristics on her preferences for redistribution. A large range of models has proposed different mechanisms that generate demand for redistribution (e.g., mobility, culture, religion, ideology). There is remarkably little work on the role of social factors in explaining the individual heterogeneity of preferences for redistribution. Social identity is one class of theories that suggests the role of social interactions in the preferences for redistribution. The proposed research aims at taking the current state of the art one step further using social interactions to explain preferences for redistribution and to employ novel econometric techniques.

Цел на проекта
The overall goal of the action is to understand and uncover the role of social identity on the formation of preferences for redistribution. The fellowship will be carried out at the University of California, Los Angeles for 24 months and at the University of Cyprus for 12 months. The research objectives of the proposed research are twofold: (1) Investigate the effect of social identity on preferences for redistribution and (2) Investigate the existence of multiple regimes and parameter heterogeneity on preferences for redistribution. To achieve Objective 1 the fellow will employ social interaction models using innovative parametric and nonparametric techniques allowing for endogeneity in order to capture the high-dimensionality of social identity, aiming to identify the social factors that determine preferences for redistribution and a broader range of socioeconomic attitudes and beliefs. To reach Objective 2 the fellow will use novel econometric methodologies such as threshold regression models that account for social factors and account for the endogeneity of the threshold variable, aiming to identify a set of threshold variables that classify preferences for redistribution into various regimes based on individual, belief, and social heterogeneity. The fellowship will result in high quality research as well as targeted policy papers aimed at eliminating several negative social phenomena, impacting the academic community, the Cypriot and European policy makers and the general public. The fellowship will have a multidimensional impact on the fellow’s current and future academic career. It will advance his research knowledge and skills, improve his teaching abilities, build a network for future collaborations, novel ideas and high quality research, become more independent in his work, and gain critical project management skills.
