“…The UK tax and benefit system has a vast number of different programmes that take from one group and give to another -we will not seek to document them all here. Rather we will simply focus on one measure of the overall amount of redistribution taken from the reported figures on the "The effects of taxes and benefits on household income" that has been produced by the Office for National Statistics on a more or less comparable basis since 1971 (and earlier on a less comparable basis) -see Jones (2006) for the most recent version of this analysis. This divides households into deciles and then reports levels of original income and various other measures of income including final income that includes imputed estimates of the value of benefits derived from public services (most importantly, health and education) 3 .…”

A main activity of the state is to redistribute resources. Models of the political process generally predict that a rise in inequality will lead to more redistribution. This paper shows that, for the UK in the period 1983-2004, a plausibly exogenous rise in income inequality has not been associated with increased redistribution. We then explore this further using attitudinal data. We show that the demand for redistribution, having shown considerable variation over time, is at an all-time low. We argue that the decline in the demand for redistribution can mostly be accounted for by an increasing belief in the importance of incentives though changes in preferences over the distribution of income have been important in some sub-periods.

“…Recent research includes Asensio et al (2003), Carruthers, Dick and Saurkar (2005) and Estupiñán et al (2007). Fearnley (2006) and Jones (2008) are among the rare studies that provide national estimates, both for the United Kingdom. They find that public transport subsidies appear to make the poorest better off, though there is variation by mode of transportation (e.g.…”

Analyses the role that taxes and benefits played in changes to the income distribution over the last 30 yearsThis is the second of two articles on changes to the UK income distribution over the last 30 years. It analyses the role that taxes and benefi ts played in changes to the income distribution over this period. The article considers the impact of both changes to the tax and benefit systems, and changes to the way in which those systems acted upon a changingpopulation and income distribution. A companion article, ‘The distribution of household income 1977 to 2006/07’ (see References section), provides an analysis of changes to the income distribution. Both articles draw mainly on data published in the Office for National Statistics’ annual article ‘The effects of taxes and benefits on household income’ which is also known as the Redistribution of Income (ROI) analysis. Economic & Labour Market Review (2009) 3, 31–43; doi:10.1057/elmr.2009.7
