Requesting the data and confidentiality agreement
The data set is free and open to the public. However, confidentiality of our respondents is very important. We have taken care to ensure that our data cannot be used to identify individuals or households.
To further ensure confidentiality, if you would like to use our data, we ask you to send a letter (SID, Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA 02454, USA) or an email to rgodoy@brandeis.edu. The email requesting the data should read as follow:
"Your complete name:

Dear Mr Godoy:
I am interested in using the data set used in the income-transfer experiment sponsored by NIH. In requesting the data I agree to the following:
1. Use the data set for research or educational purposes only
2. Not attempt to identify any individual, household, or community
3. Not share the copy of the data with other users who have not agreed to these confidentiality terms.
4. Any publication resulting from my request must: (a) include me as an author or as a co-author and (b) acknowledge NICHD (Grant # 1R21HD050776) for making the data available.
Sincerely yours,
Your name"
After we receive the email agreeing to these conditions and providing this information, you will receive the zipped data in STATA 10.
