On the following 6 pages, we would again like you to imagine you are looking forward at proposed economic growth over a four-year period.

This time, you will see figures with the proposed measurements of how much better off people will be in two different years of this four-year period. The measurements shown are again personal income growth: the percentage by which the average person’s income will increase in a given year.

You will be asked to choose which combination of proposed economic growth in a two-year period you think is best. As you will see, there is a trade-off: As growth goes down for one year, it goes up for the other. Each screen asks about a different pair of years in the four-year period – please pay close attention to which two of the four future years you are asked to consider.

Here’s an example:

The example shows combinations of growth in the second year and the fourth year of the four-year period. There are six different options to choose from. For example, the leftmost response button combines 2 percent growth in the second (sooner) year and 0 percent growth in the fourth year. The rightmost button combines 0 percent growth in the second year and 2.5 percent growth in the fourth year.

In this example, the person making the decision thought that 1.2 percent growth in the sooner second year and 1.0 percent in the fourth year was the best economy overall, and therefore marked the third button from the left.

Remember, you are choosing between proposals for future economic growth, so the second year is sooner than the fourth year.
