Literal question
[Taxation II] I would now like to learn how you feel about the district government (Bupati's office). I have an envelope here with 10,000 rupiah inside. Consider this money to be income you have earned from a job. I will now ask you to make a real decision about how to allocate these finances. You have a choice between keeping the money for yourself or contributing any amount to the Bupati's office. You can choose to contribute 0, 1000, 2000…up to 10,000.
We are asking several other randomly selected households in this district to make the same decision. Money contributed will be combined from all the households and delivered to the Bupati's office. The Bupati's office will be told that these are funds from villagers in its district and the district government should use the money in whatever way it thinks is best for the kabupaten.
The choice you make about whether to contribute is private. None of the other households will know what decision you make. And the Bupati's office will not be told your identity. You can make any decision you please. I will now step out of the room. Put any money you would like to keep for yourself in your pocket
and put any money you would like to give to the Bupati's office back in the envelope. When you have finished making your decision, seal the envelope shut. Then call me back into the room. [Kept]
