Planned Number of Clusters
|
Before
We plan on having 1200 participants after excluding participants that fail comprehension checks or whose price-list responses indicate nonmonotonic responses.
|
After
We plan on having 1600 participants after excluding participants that (i) fail our two initial comprehension checks or (ii) have nonmonotonic price-list responses (i.e., preferring $50 over the good at firm B and preferring the good at firm B over $55). We run our survey in batches so we will not end with precisely 1600.

Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
|
Before
We randomize participants into two "purpose" groups. One group is told the survey is about bankruptcy. The other is told the survey is about consumer purchase behavior. We then independently randomize participants into two information groups. One group learns the firm is bankrupt, the other group does not. We have approximately 25% of each bin: two purpose bins by two information bins. Since we expect roughly 1200 participants, we expect 300 participants per bin.

We then independently randomize participants into two information groups. One group learns the firm is bankrupt, the other group does not. We have approximately 25% of each bin: two purpose bins by two information bins. Since we expect roughly 1600 participants, we expect 400 participants per bin.

Secondary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
We also measure how many participants were already aware that the firm was in bankruptcy by asking participants to note which firms in a list are currently in bankruptcy.

After
We also measure how many participants were already aware that the firm was in bankruptcy by asking participants to note which firms in a list are currently in bankruptcy. We also measure what the participant believes the purpose of the survey is.
