On the relationship of perceived inequality and policy preferences.. This paper investigates the determinants of individuals' support for redistribution in the US from a behavioral perspective. In a comprehensive survey experiment with a large sample of US Americans, we identify participants' (mis-)perceptions about income inequality together with their policy preferences and fairness views. US Americans underestimate the income earned by people at the bottom of the distribution and overestimate the income of top earners. There is no evidence for a causal effect of perceived inequality on policy views or political behavior. We find precisely estimated and robust null effects across differen…

Sleepers often use a duvet without a top bed sheet, as the duvet cover can readily be removed and laundered as often as the bottom sheet.

WASH (or WatSan, WaSH; stemming from the first letters of "water, sanitation and hygiene") is a sector in development cooperation, or within local governments, that provides water, sanitation, and hygiene services to communities.

Access to WASH services is an important component of water security. Universal, affordable, and sustainable access to WASH is a key issue within international development, and is the focus…
