About this table

Description	Chinese SSI respondents (February 2015; n=1,613) read five vignettes about a foreign company trying to acquire a Chinese company, varying ownership, firm size, economic distress and the home country's reciprocity policy, and said whether the Chinese government should prevent the transaction.

Notes

Conjoint table (irw_conjoint). One vignette per task; choice = 1 if the respondent answered Yes to "should the Chinese government prevent the proposed transaction?" (English version of the Chinese instrument; single-profile yes/no, so opt_out = yes). Four attributes; level text is the authors' short English labels, not the Chinese display text. No restrictions documented. Task order inferred from row order; three ids with 10 rows dropped; 1,613 respondents vs 1,659 recruited.

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