Inclusion/exclusion:
Survey experiment: Between May 2017 and January 2018, the author surveyed participants in two lotteries held in the second half of 2016 for which no housing unit had yet been delivered. The other survey, carried out between December 2019 and January 2020, interviewed participants in two of the earliest general lotteries that were held in mid-2011 and whose housing units were delivered in 2012 and 2013.
Randomization procedure:
Survey experiment: Each participant was randomly assigned to receive one of three experimental vignettes, using simple randomization with equal probability
Treatment:
Survey experiment: One vignette specified that beneficiaries would be chosen from the elible pool based on additional need criteria (income, health and living conditions, and age), which implied that additional data would be collected by the government. Another vignette specified that beneficiaries would be chosen from the eligibility pool using a first-come-first-served rule (queuing). The last vignette specified that beneficiaries in the eligibility pool would be chosen via the well-known federal public lottery.
