The data includes the results of a Choice Experiment applied to the same individuals to identify preferences for mining formalization schemes. For data collection, we trained and hired a local team of surveyors within each community. Surveys were collected using an online platform. We eliminated outliers when the time to fill out a survey was infeasibly short.
