Beliefs causally affect support for equal pay legislation and affirmative action programs, but cannot account for the polarization in policy views by partisanship and gender. Changes in policy demand seem to be driven by changes in beliefs about discrimination in labor markets and fairness concerns, while self-interest appears less important. I provide evidence that pessimism about the effectiveness of government intervention limits the elasticity of policy demand to perceived wage differentials. – Reproduced   aAmerican Economic Journal: Economic Policy    aWAGES  cAR  00102ddc40709395254aIIPAbIIPAd2022-12-26h14(2), May, 2022: p.475-508pAR127750r2022-12-26yAR
