| Description | British online-panel respondents (2017, n = 1,635) chose, in 5 pairs, which of two hypothetical applicants they would prefer as the next Director General of the BBC; applicants varied in name, age, BBC experience, degree, 2017 party support, EU-referendum side and former occupation. |

| Country | GB |
| Language shown | en |
| Language of stored levels | en |
| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): names drawn without replacement from 11 (10 used per respondent): the two names in a pair always differ and no name repeats across a respondent's 5 pairs; all other attributes drawn independently per profile and pair |
| 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.
Outcomes:
