immigration: Immigration Conjoint Experiment Dataset from Hainmueller et. al. (2014)

Description

A dataset containing the results of a conjoint survey of a representative sample of American adults who were asked to choose which hypothetical immigrants they think should be admitted into the United States. Each row corresponds to a single profile presented to the respondent. The dataset results from a mostly full factorial design with restrictions on two combinations of features. (1) Profile immigrants from CountryOfOrigin “India”, “Germany”, “France”, “Mexico”, “Philippines”, and “Poland” could be paired only with ReasonForApplication “Seek better job” or “Reunite with family”; profiles from the remaining countries could be paired with any ReasonForApplication. (2) Profile immigrants with Job “Financial Analyst”, “Computer Programmer”, “Research Scientist”, or “Doctor” could not be paired with Education levels “No Formal”, “4th Grade”, “8th Grade”, or “High School”. All other features were fully randomized against all other features.
