| Description | Sworn Yonkers Police Department officers (June 2021, n = 246) chose between 5 pairs of hypothetical police-officer applicants varying in sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, residency, exam score, motivation and previous occupation, and rated each 1-7. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): previous occupation School teacher or Social worker only with education Bachelors degree or Graduate degree; otherwise independent. The restriction lowers the shares of School teacher and Social worker (about 5% each against about 13% for the other occupations) |
| 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 | If you had to choose between them, which of these two applicants would your prefer to see recruited into the Yonkers PD? [choice, forced] |
|---|---|
| rating | Please rate each applicant on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates they should definitely not be recruited and 7 indicates they should definitely be recruited. [rating, 1 (Definitely Not Recruit) to 7 (Definitely Recruit)] |
