Are similar dynamics at play in Western Europe? For many scholars, the answer is yes. In contrast, we argue that researchers' understanding of the political economy of redistribution in diversifying European countries is too incomplete to reach a conclusion on this issue. First, existing evidence is inconsistent with the assumption—ubiquitous in this line of research—of a universal distaste for sharing resources with people who are culturally, ethnically, and racially different. Second, important historical and institutional differences between the United States and Europe preclude any straightforward transposition of the American experience to the European case. We discuss what we see as the most promising lines of inquiry going forward.- Reproduced https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jel.20221708 Journal of Economic Literature RACE DISCRIMINATION AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 400320 IIPA IIPA 2024-02-20 61(3), Sep, 2023: p.958-976 AR131071 2024-02-20 AR
