Before
In this paper, a large data set of lottery participants in Sweden was analyzed in a the framework of a randomized controlled experiment to study the effect of wealth on the labor earnings of individuals and households. Three separate samples of Swedish lottery players were used, comprising roughly two million individuals in total, which were matched to administrative data on labor earnings of lottery participants, labor earnings of their spouses, and a large number of socioeconomic and demographic variables. The first sample is a panel of around two million Swedish individuals who held "prize-linked savings" accounts in the 1980s and 1990s. These accounts incorporate a lottery element by randomly awarding prizes to some accounts rather than paying them interest. The second sample consisted of individuals who participated in a monthly Swedish subscription lottery called Kombilotteriet between 1998 and 2011. The third sample contained scratch lottery ticket winners who qualified for a televised draw at some point between 1994 and 2010 where they could win substantial amounts of money. These three samples were used to study the long-run effects of shocks to wealth, and to estimate heterogenous wealth effects across a wide range of demographic characteristics.
The analysis and outcomes studied were not pre-registered.
