Investigating Economic Behavior Through Household Surveys
=========================================================

**Short Description:** While laboratory and field experiments are the most frequently used methods in behavioral economics research, household surveys are seldomly used. We propose a short module that includes a set of general behavioral economics questions and a simple experiment. We aim to combine the previous behavioral variables of SOEP-IS with this new module to create a compact, user-friendly, and versatile dataset that can be used by behavioral economists to study a diverse set of questions.

**Incentives:** 5€ when reaching a certain threshold of correct answers. The incentive could be kept or donated to charity.

**Methodological Details:** Besides the assessment of the statement "Competition brings the best out of me" and a short hypothetical lottery choice task to measure loss aversion, respondents could participate in an incentivized quiz that included a collection of 30 questions about trivia, knowledge, simple math, and attention questions
