Intervention (Public)
|
Before
Various combinations of the following three ‘information interventions’ will be provided in the online experiment:
1) Information about the Level of Inequality in Indonesia
2) Information about the Prospect for Upward Mobility in Indonesia
3) Information about a survey respondents Place in Distribution
|
After
The following ‘information interventions’ will be provided in the online experiments:
1) Information about the level of inequality and prospect for upward mobility
2) Information about a survey respondent's position in the income distribution

Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
There are two main outcomes of interest. These are: 1) Concern about inequality 2) Preferences for redistribution (the survey in the documents section shows which questions are used to measure these outcomes)
The key research questions are as follows:
- What are the underlying preferences for redistribution in Australia?
- Are preferences for redistribution elastic?
- What types of information about inequality have the largest effect on preferences for redistribution?
- Will providing information about both inequality and mobility have a larger effect on preferences for redistribution than just providing information about inequality?
- Are people’s preferences for redistribution influenced more by information about their place in the distribution or information about a combination of the overall level of inequality and mobility?

Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
The impact of the information interventions will be evaluated via an online survey. This survey will be conducted in late 2017.
The experiment is a randomized control trial at the individual level. There will be 3 treatment groups and one control group with 800 people in each. The three treatment groups will receive one of the following interventions:
(T1) - information about inequality and mobility
(T2) - information about a respondent’s place in the distribution
(T3) - information about inequality and mobility PLUS information about a respondent’s place in the distribution
|
After
The impact of the information interventions will be evaluated via online survey experiments.
The experiment is randomized at the individual level. There will be 2 treatment groups and one control group with on average around 800 people in each. The treatment groups will receive one of the following interventions:
(T1) - information about inequality and mobility
(T2) - information about a respondent’s place in the distribution

Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms

Before
800 individuals in each treatment arm and the control group.

After
On average there will be around 800 individuals in each treatment arm and the control group.
