Experimental Approaches to IPE: Evidence from Survey and Field Experiments

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

These papers use survey and field experiments to analyze individuals' migration preferences, opinions towards trade disputes, corruption and FDI, and corporate taxation. Migration decisions are analyzed using survey experimental data from Switzerland fielded to a sample of 4000 respondents. Trade disputes are examined using uniquely matched surveys in Korea and Japan and conjoint analysis. FDI is examined using a sample of 36,662 US and Canadian firms in a field experiment. Finally, taxation is examined using a survey experiment on a nationally representative sample of U.S. citizens.
