Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study investigates the fiscal literacy of a quota-based sample of the German population. The quotes are in the categories age, gender, education and region (East/West Germany). We do this by asking individuals multiple choice questions that assess knowledge of different aspects (topics) of fiscal literacy. The topics were identified via previous surveys with field experts (Registration DOI: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NU93X). The aim of this study is to further understand how much the German population knows about the fiscal system generally, and how their knowledge differs between specific aspects of the fiscal system / topics. Additionally, we measure individual preferences and attitudes regarding different economic and social policies. Our outcome variables will be fiscal literacy, and preferences for economic and social policy.
