Abstract

["Social Science Quarterly, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 492-507, January 2021. ", "\n\nObjective\nIn this article, we seek to determine the main explanatory factors of individual preferences for redistribution in Spain.\n\n\nMethods\nWe use data from the World Values Survey capturing economic factors, political preferences, personal beliefs, and sociodemographic characteristics.\n\n\nResults\nThe results, obtained using both OLS and ordered logit regressions, reveal that factors regarding relative household income, personal beliefs, sociodemographic characteristics, and regional differences are the main determinants of the demand for redistribution.\n\n\nConclusion\nThese results, coupled with long‐standing trends that the Spanish society has been experiencing for decades, suggest that there may be an increase in the demand for redistribution in the coming years.\n\n"]
