Investment-promoting policies in open economies

Article Abstract:

An analysis of intergenerational and international distributional effects is presented.

It was established that self- and exogenous-determination beliefs have a substantial impact on support for redistribution. This is probably because people are reciprocal or have strong principles of equity.
