Abstract
A cross-cultural study examining inequity aversion for favorable and unfavorable outcomes in children. The results show that egalitarian behaviors for favorable outcomes increase with age and the degree of market integration. But when the outcomes are unfavorable, children from all cultures show less egalitarian behaviors as the age increase.
