Pay insecurity: An experimental study 2020

These data were collected as part of a three-year project funded by the Nuffield Foundation. The project aimed to collect experimental evidence on labour supply responses to uncertainty about work availability and associated pay. 301 low-income UK residents took part in several experimental sessions. The experiment was conducted on a tablet/PC via a custom-built web application hosted by a cloud service platform. In the initial phase, data were collected in face-to-face sessions, on wi-fi enabled tablets provided by the research team. After the Covid-19 pandemic struck, data collection was moved online and carried out via Prolific, a recruitment platform.
