3. The Influence of Personality Traits on University Performance : Evidence from Italian Freshmen Students

abstract

Despite several attempts to provide a definite pattern regarding the effects of personality traits on performance in higher education, the debate over the nature of the relationship is far from being conclusive. The use of different subject pools and sample sizes, as well as the use of identification strategies that either do not adequately account for selection bias or are unable to establish causality between measures of academic performance and noncognitive skills, are possible sources of heterogeneity. This paper investigates the impact of the Big Five traits, as measured before the beginning of the academic year, on the grade point average achieved in the first year after the enrolment, taking advantage of a unique and large dataset from a cohort of Italian students in all undergraduate programs containing detailed information on student and parental characteristics. Relying on a robust strategy to credibly satisfy the conditional independence assumption, we find that higher levels of conscientiousness and openness to experience positively affect student score

4. Do Free Choice and Control Affect Individual Preferences for Redistribution? Evidence from a Sample of 74 Countries

abstract

Why do some people believe that social mobility may result in a fair distribution of income? We hypothesize that people who enjoy higher levels of free choice and control over life outcomes are more likely to consider the income distribution process to be fair, and as a consequence be less supportive of redistribution. We test this claim using a triangular system to endogenize fairness in the process that determines income distribution. The empirical results support our hypothesis. Our findings represent a development in the empirical literature on the determinants of people's preferences concerning income redistribution, in that until now analysis has generally treated the level of fairness in social mobility exogenously

10. Autonomy Freedom and Preferences for Redistribution

abstract

In this paper we study the determinants of people's attitudes toward income inequality and their consequences for redistributive policies. In the light of a recent literature in social choice theory, we argue that an individual's attitudes toward inequality depend upon the extent of autonomy freedom he/she enjoys. We use individual level data to validate our theory and show that the higher the extent of an individual's autonomy freedom, the greater the probability that he/she supports larger income differences as incentives for individual effort. Conversely, the lower the extent of autonomy freedom, the more likely he/she supports the view that incomes should be made more equal. These findings appear to be robust to different model specifications even after controlling for a large set of both socio-economic variables and individual characteristics
