20,282 rated or chosen profiles from 2,075 respondents, in up to 5 tasks of 2 profiles varying on 4 attributes.

| Respondents | 2,075 |

| Rows (one per respondent, task and profile) | 20,282 |

| Country | TW |
| Language shown | zh |
| Language of stored levels | en |
| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): Ukraine only with ethnicity 'No Info' (never Hakka or Cantonese); level shares unequal: Ukraine 1,527 rows vs about 4,700 for each other country level, ethnicity 'No Info' 7,714 vs about 6,300 (consistent with the restriction; probabilities not documented) |
| 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:
| choice | Should the Taiwanese government ease immigration policy for Person A or Person B, making the process for obtaining permanent residency easier? [choice, forced] |
|---|---|
| choice_health_insurance | Neither Person A nor Person B has permanent residency and is currently not eligible for nationalized healthcare. Should the Taiwanese government offer nationalized healthcare for Person A or Person B? [choice, forced] |
| choice_mother_tongue | Should the Taiwanese government offer mother tongue language classes for Person A's or Person B's children? [choice, forced] |
