Notes: The table reports the descriptive statistics for the participants in the choice experiment, including the follow-up experiment, and in the survey experiment, and for the US population. Samples (self-reported): The income variable is yearly household income in USD before taxes (inflation adjusted to 2020), given in standard categories where we impute the midpoint in each group to calculate the average. For the highest and lowest income groups, we impute 1.5 times the lower boundary and 0.5 times the higher boundary, respectively (see Online Appendix Section B.7 for a list of income categories). The participants who did not know or did not want to state their income are not included in the descriptives on income (261/17,521 and 371/13,264 observations, respectively). A participant is classified as Republican if he or she would have voted for the Republican party if there was an election tomorrow. US population: The share of males and the median age (+18) in the US are estimates from the US Census Bureau, American Community Survey (2018 and 2019) (https://www.census.gov/ and https://www.census.gov/data/). The income data are based on 2018 estimates from the US Census Bureau, American Community Survey (inflation adjusted to 2020). Political affiliation is from Gallup (http://news.gallup.com/poll/).
