| Description | Adults in Germany (online survey, June-August 2021, n = 1665) chose between two hypothetical ministers in each of 5 paired tasks (Prime Minister, Finance, Foreign Affairs, Agriculture, Education) varying age, gender, class background, prior occupation, party membership, accountability and policy position. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): Occupation and policy-position levels are drawn from post-specific sets (e.g. 'Minister of Agriculture (Rural Affairs)' and 'Professor of agronomy in a university' only in the Agriculture task; two policy positions per post); education is constant ('Phd'). |
| 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:
