Replication Data for "Political Exclusion and Support for Democratic Innovations: Evidence from a Conjoint Experiment on Participatory Budgeting"

Citizens that tend to experience political exclusion are often more supportive of direct and participatory forms of decision-making. We empirically verify two competing explanatory logics for such high support: the ‘anti-establishment’ logic, which expects politically excluded citizens to unconditionally express more support than their fellow citizens for democratic innovations; and the ‘instrumental’ logic, which expects politically excluded citizens to only express more support for democratic innovations than other citizens when these innovations offer procedural control and favorable outcomes. Based on a conjoint analysis of Dutch citizens’ preferences for participatory budgeting, we find no support for the anti-establishment logic and partial support for the instrumental logic. We show how measures of citizens’ own feelings of exclusion help to explain the results.
