Experimental Design

Experimental Design
We run a discrete choice experiment where respondents are asked to choose between job ads with exogenously varying attributes,
which allows us to estimate the willingness to pay for these attributes. We also elicit beliefs about other characteristics of the job and the employer, and beliefs about the pay of vacancies.
