Prof. Kelley and prof. Evans presented their paper on international comparison of income inequalities perception. Using data from “Inequality-III” round of the International Social Science Project together with other data in the World Inequality Study they compared 30 countries and found that people in poor nations are much more accepting of inequality than are people in prosperous nations. However, the ideal level of inequality differs among countries.
