Figure 2. Income and beliefs about the importance of luck/effort for economic success are significant partial meditators.

All regressions in the mediation analysis include standard controls. Significance levels: *** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.1. All variables are defined as in Table 1. All coefficients reported in this figure can also be found in Tables 1 and 2, except for β = −3.70**. This is the coefficient on cognitive ability from an OLS regression where demand for redistribution is the dependent variable and mean annual income and beliefs about the luck/effort are included in addition to the standard controls.
