Abstract

Gran parte dei modelli attraverso cui la teoria tenta di descrivere la realta' dei sistemi economico-sociali Š costruita sull'ipotesi che gli agenti siano interessati esclusivamente al proprio benessere materiale. Una quantita' notevole di risultati ottenuti nell'ambito dell'economia sperimentale ha evidenziato che il comportamento degli agenti economici Š meglio interpretabile se, al di la' delle normali motivazioni egoistiche, si prendono in considerazione anche aspetti puramente altruistici e, soprattutto, motivazioni legate al concetto di reciprocita': oltre al proprio benessere materiale gli individui sarebbero orientati a ricambiare l'atteggiamento ostile o benevolo della controparte. Per cercare una ulteriore conferma di questi aspetti con metodi che non siano quelli dell'economia sperimentale, il lavoro propone un'analisi empirica sui dati dell'European Values Study volta a verificare la rilevanza del concetto di reciprocita' nello spiegare le preferenze dei cittadini verso ridistribuzione e stato sociale, oltre a mettere in relazione questo aspetto motivazionale con le differenze esistenti tra il welfare state statunitense e quelli dei paesi europei.
