Why Might the Demand for Redistribution That Analysts Find in the Empirical

Why might the demand for redistribution that analysts find in the empirical data differ from that predicted by the Meltzer-Richards model?

A) The model assumes full turnout, so the model's predictions should be more accurate in countries with higher levels of turnout than in other cases.
B) The model assumes income inequality, but the empirical data show no evidence of income inequality in the analyses of advanced industrialized countries presented in the chapter.
