Experiment 3 (international transfers). choice: 'Which country would you prefer to see financial and technical assistance given to?' forced choice between two profiles, 3 tasks. Ten countries pooled (cov_country), levels in English as stored (surveys in local languages). Attribute order: first two fixed, last two randomized per respondent (not recorded). Profile order inferred from file order. Respondents who did not choose in every task were excluded by the authors.

These notes describe the source data, which the IRW reproduces as released. All notes are listed on the Data Notes page.
