An experimental study of gender differences in distributive justice
I Rodriguez-Lara - Cuadernos de economía, 2015 - Elsevier
This paper shows that women are more likely than men to employ the fair allocation that
most benefits their financial payoff. The experimental evidence is gleaned from a dictator
game with production, in which subjects first solve a quiz to accumulate earnings and then
divide the surplus by choosing one over five different allocations, some of which represent a
fairness ideal. The data also suggest that women are more sensitive to the context as their
allocation choices depend on whether they have accumulated more or less money than their …

This paper investigates gender differences in distributive justice by means of a controlled
laboratory experiment. I consider a dictator game with production, in which subjects first
solve a quiz to accumulate earnings and then divide the surplus by choosing one of the
following allocations:(1) keeping the entire surplus (the selfish allocation),(2) giving the
entire surplus away,(3) dividing the surplus in two identical parts (the egalitarian
allocation),(4) dividing the surplus according to the subject's performance in the quiz (the …
