Abstract
A core question in the contemporary debate on distributive justice is how to
understand fairness in situations involving production. Important theories of distributive
justice, such as strict egalitarianism, liberal egalitarianism, and libertarianism,
provide different answers to this question. This paper presents the results
from a dictator game where the distribution phase is preceded by a production
phase. Each player's contribution is a result of a freely chosen investment level and
an exogenously given rate of return. We estimate simultaneously the prevalence of
three principles of distributive justice among the players and the distribution of the
weight they attach to fairness. (JEL D63)
