DESCRIPTION:In most countries\, wealth inequality is much higher than incom
 e inequality\, spurring debates about wealth taxation. However\, it is uncl
 ear if voters are aware of these differences. In a large scale survey exper
 iment among a representative Dutch population (N=4\,359)\, we study voters'
  perceptions of income and wealth distributions\, and connect their views t
 o administrative data about their own income and wealth. Despite a primer o
 n the definition of income and wealth\, respondents underestimate the  dif
 ference in inequality on the two measures by a factor of 10. Moreover\, the
 y use information about the income distribution to make predictions about t
 he wealth distribution and vice versa\, even when information about both is
  provided. An information intervention about actual inequality levels and p
 ersonal ranks in the income/wealth distribution has an impact on the percei
 ved inequality and perceived fairness\, but little effect on policy prefere
 nces. Thus\, voters  differentiate little between wealth and income distri
 butions. We discuss implications for political debates about inequality and
  wealth taxation.\\n\\nContact: Nicolas Clootens : nicolas.clootens[at]univ
