Public Opinion about Income Inequality

European egalitarianism is confirmed by a propensity to agree with government intervention to reduce income inequality. This propensity is driven by lower educational level, societal dissatisfaction, liberal partisanship, and economic anxiety. These findings are realized with data from the fifth round of the European Social Survey.
The regression of agreement propensities on true explanatory values is made possible by correcting for measurement error in explanatory scores. This resolves two major problems in propensity regression, i.e. errors in variables and imputation errors. These resolutions are attained by a pure randomization theory that places fixed measurement error in design-based regression. This type of regression (versus model-based regression) is used by statistical agencies and polling organizations for sampling large populations

欧洲平等主义可通过民众支持政府干预以缩小收入不平等的倾向得到验证。该倾向受教育水平偏低、社会不满情绪、自由派党派立场以及经济焦虑所驱动。本研究结论依托欧洲社会调查（European Social Survey）第五轮的数据得出。
通过对解释变量得分中的测量误差进行校正，我们得以开展支持倾向对真实解释变量的回归分析。这一方法解决了倾向回归中的两大核心问题：变量误差与插补误差。上述解决方案依托纯随机化理论实现，该理论将固定测量误差纳入基于设计的回归分析框架。相较于基于模型的回归分析，这类回归分析方法被统计机构与民意调查机构广泛应用于大样本抽样调查场景中。
