Popis: How does institutional quality shape support for social policy and the types of groups that should benefit? In this project, we provide simple extensions to two existing theories of social policy preferences in order to generate competing predictions over how institutional quality might shape support for social policy and who should receive it. Specifically, we contrast a theory in which institutions are a dead-weight cost on social policy to one in which institutions create market distortions that drive up individual risk. We then use a survey experimental approach to test these empirically on individual-level support for social policy programs and who should receive them.
