All variables defined as in Table 1 except for Mean annual income which is here in SEK. Note that Demand for redistribution was measured on a 1–10 scale in the survey. In the analysis we rescaled the variable to range from 0 to 100 so that it can be interpreted as percentage redistribution desired. The median value of 44.4 hence corresponds to a choice of 4 on the original scale.
