Abstract: We conduct a laboratory experiment that investigates allocation decisions when facing a rank–inequality tradeoff. In particular, we examine how the gender composition of others ranked adjacent to the decision makers affects their allocation decisions. Two essential features of our experiment are that (1) participants' relative rank is the outcome of their real-effort performance and luck, and (2) the genders of other participants at different ranks are naturally revealed. We find that the female subjects are more reluctant to give up their current relative rank (and alleviate the inequality by doing so) when the persons ranked below and above are males. This tendency is less pronounced for male subjects.
