Abstract: We examine the relationship between risk analysis and inequality analysis, using a questionnaire-experimental approach .The experiments focus on the effect of income transformations on the perceived rankings of income distri- butions in either a risk or inequality context. Both context and income levels are important in inßuencing rankings.
