About this table

DescriptionUS Lucid quota sample (Feb 2019, n = 2,247) rated 4 pairs of immigrant profiles (a Hainmueller & Hopkins 2015 replication) on a 1-7 admit/allow-to-stay scale, under one of three randomized framings: visa applicants abroad (flows), resident aliens renewing visas (stocks), or stocks with refusal framed as deportation.

Randomization restrictionsobserved in the data (not documented by the source): doctor/computer programmer/financial analyst/research scientist only with college degree; 'escape persecution' only with Iraq/Somalia/Sudan (Hainmueller-Hopkins style); rules not documented in sources, seen as structural zeros in the table. Level shares unequal: college degree 7894 vs ~5000 for the other two; Iraq/Somalia/Sudan ~2340 vs ~1560; the four high-skill professions ~720 vs ~2160; escape persecution 2371 vs ~7800 (consistent with resampling under the restrictions)

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:

ratingOn a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates that the U.S. should absolutely not admit [definitely deport] the immigrant [resident alien] and 7 indicates that the United States should definitely admit [allow] the immigrant [resident alien to stay], what would you decide regarding applicant [resident alien] #1? [rating, 1 (absolutely not admit [Stocks arms: definitely deport]) to 7 (definitely admit [Stocks arms: definitely allow (to stay)])]
