I've only skimmed, but it seems the redistributive implications are that people who think they are close to but above last place are less likely to support redistribution which could raise the level of those in last place. They don't mention possibility, but I suppose something to further research is whether redistribution which compresses but may not change ordering (eg everyone gets same amount or discount through goods available to all, basic income, monopoly busting) suffers from the same lack of support from those near last place. Another implication of last-place aversion not mentioned could include lower class support for oppression of outgroups.
