Intelligence Predicts Choice of Absolute Versus Positional Income
We find that the preference for absolute over positional wealth levels (e.g., preferring a society in which you earns $100K while others earn $200K over one is which you earn $50K while others earn $25K) is significantly predicted by three different measures of intellectual abilities (vocabulary, CRT, WPT).
