What Do People Believe That Others (Should) Earn? Multifactorial Survey Experiments on Beliefs About Actual and Fair Earnings
Short Description: This is repetition of the same module which has already been part of SOEP-IS in 2019 to check for effects of the Corona pandemic on beliefs and fairness preferences with respect to occupational earnings (e.g. nurses or doctors).
Incentive: 5€ for each participant
Methodological Details: Respondents are asked to evaluate short descriptions (vignettes) of hypothetical individuals that differ in experimentally varied characteristics, such as their working hours, family status, gender, and occupations. Specifically, in a first step respondents are asked whether the gross and net incomes of these individuals are realistic or whether they are unrealistically low or high. In a second step, we ask the respondents to assess whether the gross and net incomes are fair (or unfairly too low or high).
