Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
We present respondents with a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, food stamps) recipient and one of two different food boxes (a healthy box and a representative box), each worth about $50. One in 20 respondents makes the choice about a real person. Respondents learn that the welfare recipient may or may not be real and do not learn whether they are. Respondents then make a series of choices regarding whether the welfare recipient receives the food box or a set of gift cards of their choice worth a given dollar amount.
In order to run these treatments, we first run a survey with SNAP recipients where we elicit their preferences for the food box compared to gift cards.
After running the initial survey, we recruit a new panel of 500 respondents. First, we altered the way we elicited respondents’ beliefs (meanBelief, sdBelief) to drag and drop tags into bins rather than using a grid. Second, we randomly provided information about SNAP recipients’ alcohol consumption to some respondents and not to others.

In order to run these treatments, we first ran a survey with SNAP recipients where we elicited their preferences for the food box compared to gift cards.
After running the initial survey, we recruit a new pilot panel of 428 respondents. First, we alter the way we elicited respondents’ beliefs (meanBelief, sdBelief) to drag and drop tags into bins rather than using a grid. Second, we randomly provide information about SNAP recipients’ alcohol consumption to some respondents and not to others.
We finally rerun the new design with a panel of 1,997 respondents using the new interface.
