Abstract
This paper investigates how perceived brute luck influences individual preferences for redistribution favoring environmental and health policies. Data from three waves (2000, 2006, 2008) of a French population survey are analyzed using a Generalized Ordered Logit (GOL) model. Results show that perceived low brute luck is associated with decreased preference for redistributive environmental policies but increased preference for redistributive health policies, suggesting a self-serving bias in health redistribution preferences.
