All data used for this experiment. All TTO and SG responses are translated to utilities using Eq. 2 and Eq. 3 in the paper, and can thus be transformed back by multiplying TTO weights by 10 and SG weights by 100.

Two XLS files. That for Massachusetts deaths by cause is from the MA Vital Statistics Reports. That on Life Expectancy is from Hacker to 1900 and Social Security Administration after. See text of paper for further description.

The Social Protection Survey (EPS) is the largest and oldest longitudinal survey that exists in Chile, with a sample of around 16,000 respondents distributed in all regions of the country. The questionnaire includes questions on labor and social security with detailed information in areas such as education, health, social security, job training, wealth and assets, family history and household information.

These files describe the way that we processed Vital Statistics Natality data (the restrictions applied), and estimates the models in our paper. The underlying data are not public use, since we used Vital Statistics Natality Data with county identifiers. Access to these data is available only to people who have applied for it. We also used proprietory data about e-cigarette indoor air laws that was purchased from the American Non-Smokers Rights Foundation. Michael Pesko will be pleased to answer further questions about the data.

Assessing the causal impact of wealth on attitudes and well-being is a challenging task, since an individual’s economic situation may depend on unobserved characteristics which are likely to be correlated with such outcomes. We overcome this challenge by exploiting the exogenous variation in wealth created by a housing lottery in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which randomly allocates the right to purchase an apartment among low-income applicants. Since the apartments are sold at highly subsidized rates, winners of the lottery experience a substantial boost to long-term wealth. We focus on the causal effects of winning the lottery on three separate domains: (i) changes in attitudes toward redistribution and meritocratic beliefs, (ii) charitable giving and (iii) economic and psychological well-being.
