3,063 rated or chosen profiles from 1,021 respondents, in up to 3 tasks of 1 profile varying on 10 attributes.
| Description | Lab-in-the-field respondents in Madhepura, Bihar, India (spring 2015, n=1,021) each evaluated 3 single fictitious state legislators varying photo, district, subcaste, party, record, family background, criminal charges, 2010 wealth, wealth increase and suspected illegality; outcomes are whether they would consider voting for him and four 1-5 ratings (job addressing problems, personal help, corruption, violence). |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): legality (suspicion / no suspicion) shown only when the wealth increase is not 'No increase'; one of each respondent's three vignettes carries the respondent's own subcaste, the other two are drawn from the eleven largest subcastes in Madhepura |
| Task order | recorded in the deposit |
| Profile position | recorded in the deposit |
Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead.
