Abstract

In the Dutch Postcodeloterij (zip-code lottery) a postal code is randomly selected weekly, and sizeable prizes are awarded to all lottery participants living in that postal code area. We propose to collect data on the consumption and saving behavior of individual winners and of nonwinners in both winning and nonwinning postal code areas. This information allows us to make the key comparisons required to identify social interaction effects.
