Redistributive Preferences, Redistribution, and Inequality: Evidence from a Panel of OECD Countries This paper describes individuals’ inequality perceptions, distributional norms, and redistributive preferences in a panel of OECD countries, primarily focusing on the association between these subjective measures and the effective level of inequality and redistribution. Not surprisingly, the effe...

Data redistribution of parallel data representations has become an important factor of grid frameworks for scientific computing. Providing the developers with generalized interfaces for flexible parallel data redistribution is a major goal of this research. In this article we present the architecture and the implementation of the redistribution module of TGrid. TGrid is a grid-enabled runtime s...

Citizens’ preference for redistribution determines many key political economy outcomes. In this project, we aim to understand how ancestors’ redistributive experiences affect the descendants’ preference for redistribution. We conduct a survey experiment under the historical backdrop of the wealth equalization movements during the Communist Revolution in China (1947-1956). We remind a random sub...

The classical redistribution problem aims at optimally scheduling communications when moving from an initial data distribution Dini to a target distribution Dtar where each processor Pi will host a subset P (i) of data items. However, modern computing platforms are equipped with a powerful interconnection switch, and the cost of a given communication is (almost) independent of the location of i...

Background. Because thallium reinjection enhances the identification of viable myocardium, many laboratories have adopted the routine practice of performing reinjection imaging instead of 3-4-hour redistribution imaging. This approach assumes that the stress-reinjection protocol provides the necessary information regarding both exercise-induced ischemia and myocardial viability. Because apparen...

Preferences for Redistribution and Pensions: What Can We Learn from Experiments? Redistribution is an inevitable feature of collective pension schemes and economic experiments have revealed that most people have a preference for redistribution that is not merely inspired by self-interest. Interestingly, little is known on how these preferences interact with preferences for different pension sch...

ÐIn many scientific applications, array redistribution is usually required to enhance data locality and reduce remote memory access in many parallel programs on distributed memory multicomputers. Since the redistribution is performed at runtime, there is a performance trade-off between the efficiency of the new data decomposition for a subsequent phase of an algorithm and the cost of redistribu...

A series of physical modeling tests were conducted by means of a beam type geotechnical centrifuge machine in order to investigate the drainage impact on the slope failure mechanism under centrifugal acceleration. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of stress redistribution in undercut slopes and the formation of arching effect were studied. For this purpose, a poorly graded sandy soil (Silica sand No. 6...

The poor favor redistribution and the rich oppose it, but that is not all. Social mobility may make some of today’s poor into tomorrow’s rich and since redistributive policies do not change often, individual preferences for redistribution should depend on the extent and the nature of social mobility. We estimate the determinants of preferences for redistribution using individual level data from...

Welfare states redistribute both between individuals (inter-individual redistribution) reducing annual, cross-sectional inequality and over the lifecycle of an individual (intra-individual redistribution) insuring individuals against income risks in the long-term. But studies measuring redistribution often focus on a one-year period and the second aspect is neglected. To quantify both interand ...
