About this table

Description	US respondents (Amazon Mechanical Turk, October 2017; 2,081 respondents, 1,946 in the author's sample) chose which of two hypothetical individuals should pay a higher tax rate, over 5 pairs varying annual income, share of income paid in sales taxes and source of income (effort, family connections, government bailout, lottery).

Notes

Conjoint table (irw_conjoint). choice: "Which of the two individuals would you personally prefer to charge a higher tax rate to?" (forced choice of one of two; skipped tasks omitted); choice = 1 marks the person chosen to pay MORE tax (unfavourable, kept as asked). Attributes fully randomized per the article; attribute order randomized per respondent (attrpos_). All 2,081 respondents with an answer kept; cov_in_authors_sample marks the author's 1,946 (finished, consented, not speeding), matching the article. US weights not deposited.
