Abstract
This registration concerns the second round of data collection for a project where we study experimentally whether males are held more responsible for outcomes than females, using a novel design implemented on a representative sample of Americans. The participants make distributive choices involving men and women and we randomly manipulate the gender composition in the distributive situations. The registered pre-analysis plan should be read as an addition to the pre-analysis plan submitted to the AEA RCT registry on September 28, 2015, concerning the same project.

Primary Outcomes

Primary Outcomes (end points)
The main dependent variable in the analysis will be the amount redistributed to the less productive worker. Subsidiary, we will also report regressions where the dependent variable will be the amount of inequality implemented by the spectator, which captures the extent to which individuals are held responsible for their earnings. Last, we will also report regressions where the dependent variable is a dummy variable for whether the spectator has equalized incomes.
