소득재분배 선호도 결정요인의 다수준 분석 - 문화변수의 설명력 검증을 중심으로 -

초록

The purpose of the study is to explore the influence of individual cultural bias on the income redistribution preference, focusing on two types of interacting effects; within the individual level variables (i.e., group*income and group*political ideology) and between individual and national level (i.e., political ideology*Okun index). This study measured cultural bias based on the grid-group cultural theory suggested by Douglas. For the empirical analysis, this study acquired data from European Value Survey and selected relevant variables from 12 countries. Applying hierarchical linear model, the study found the following results. First, the cultural variable represented as the group does not have significant effect on the income redistribution preference. However, when it comes to interacting effects, the group variable interacting with other variables such as political ideology and income at the same level showed statistically significant association with the dependent variable. In specific, when the individual’s group inclination is moderated with her income and political ideology, it showed statistically significant influence. This finding is highly suggestive for developing the grid-group culture theory into a quantitative empirical study in the future.
