We examine the interplay between guilt aversion and inequality in decision-making, specifically in the context of a dictator game. Considering different initial allocations of the surplus, we investigate how the material opportunity cost of reducing inequality influences sharing behavior, revealing a complex relationship among guilt-driven choices and material opportunity costs.
