Abstract: 
Die Ampelkoalition steht nach einem Regierungsjahr vor großen Herausforderungen. Der Krieg in der Ukraine und die steigenden Preise insbesondere im Bereich der Energie machen den Deutschen Sorgen und sie erwarten unterstützende Maßnahmen des Staates. Eine empirische Analyse der Forderungen der Wähler:innen nach Umverteilungsmaßnahmen während der Energiekrise in Deutschland zeigt allerdings Merkmale inkonsistenter Präferenzen.
Abstract (Translated): 
An empirical analysis of voters' demands for redistributive measures during the energy crisis in Germany reveals three characteristic features of inconsistent preferences. First, although people favour targeted support for the disadvantaged, they deviate from this principle when confronted with policy proposals. Second, policies are often evaluated along party preferences, thus contradicting the exclusion of higher-income classes from support policies. Third, drawing on the Sinus-Milieu model, we identify different mentalities that lead to disapproval of the attitudes towards the disadvantaged. We conclude that managing expectations through policies and fostering personal responsibility on the part of both beneficiaries and benefactors of the welfare state will be crucial for successful future transition policies.
