Abstract
We analyze results from laboratory experiments which bear on the relationship between participation in redistributional decisions and subsequent attitudes and behavior. In particular, we examine the impact of democratic participation on the subsequent acceptability of a redistributive principle and on the productivity of participants. We believe the experiments have implications for the role of worker participation in economic enterprises and for the relationship between income distribution policies, economic incentives, and political processes.
