Each wave includes approximately 5,000 respondents and features an experimental component. In Wave 1, the experiment assesses preferences for policies implemented by either a technocratic or a partisan minister. Wave 2 replicates the experimental design with a different policy while also introducing an additional experiment to evaluate preferences for mixed decision-making processes.ItalyEuropean Research Council (ERC)Grant agreement No. 773023
