Notes

Conjoint table (irw_conjoint). Fifteen country samples of one translated design in one table (cov_country), since the deposit holds only the English master labels. choice forced, no opt-out; rating 1-7 support for granting asylum. cov_survey_weight is the raw weight; the authors top-code it at 6 (missing for 147 respondents). 9 respondents with blank profiles dropped (18,021 vs '18,000' in the paper).

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