The result might seems obvious, but I have a few instances when talking about redistributing wealth where such a study would be useful.

All the people saying that "money doesn't buy happiness" or that try to put value in work (typically, to oppose raising wages), not to mention those who are so rich they end up being completely out-of-touch.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure can buy food and shelter. Try being happy without either of those.
