You may not be told about the purpose of this research before you participate, but the purpose of the research will be disclosed to you after you finish the survey. This study will take about 5 minutes to complete.

Economic Redistribution
The goal of this project is to understand individuals’ perceptions and preferences on relevant policy issues. We will ask you some demographic questions as well as questions about the economy and specific policies. We will also ask a question regarding how connected you feel about your future self. The results of the study will contribute to a better picture of social preferences about policies that have impact on everyday life.
Companies and Society
We are trying to establish how much importance ordinary citizens who are not professional investors and who either directly or indirectly (e.g. through their retirement funds) hold shares of companies, attach to the different characteristics of the companies they invest in when they make decisions. In particular, how much importance they attach to how companies influence the world around them. This research can support our understanding of investment decisions and contribute new data that may improve the allocation of investments to better reflect what matters to ultimate investors. The survey should take about 10 minutes.
