# Human reference evidence

## DSE source

Sandra Gilgen (2022), *Disentangling Justice: Needs, Equality or Merit? On the
Situation-Dependency of Distributive Justice*. Nomos. DOI:
`10.5771/9783748926955`.

The book is not redistributed. Machine-readable transcriptions are stored in
`data/reference/human_dse_reference_registry.csv` with page, figure, sample,
subgroup, statistic, unit and qualification.

## DSE point estimates used

- Work exact-equal splits: Bern students 29% overall and Princeton students 17%
  overall, with additional gender-specific values.
- Family exact-equal splits: gender-specific estimates for Bern and Princeton;
  combined university percentages are not published.
- Swiss general-population family result: prose reports roughly 60%, while a
  later figure reports 74% for women and 68% for men.

The current analysis uses these records as selected aggregate point estimates.
Their minimum and maximum are a descriptive span, not an individual-level
population range or a human confidence interval.

## Source discrepancy

The Swiss family prose and figure cannot be reconciled from the published text.
Both remain in the registry with qualifications. See
`SOURCE_DISCREPANCY_GILGEN_2022.md`.

## MFQ reference frame

`data/reference/mfq2_human_reference_frame.csv` contains 19 national means.
The current package lacks sufficient row-level source, table, sample-size,
field-date and uncertainty metadata. MFQ comparisons are therefore
exploratory and cannot support representation claims.


## Planned FAW attitudes reference

Almås, Cappelen, Sørensen and Tungodden (2022), *Global evidence on the selfish
rich inequality hypothesis*, provides public microdata from 60 countries. The
file contains 65,856 records, with item-specific valid sample sizes. The planned
analysis will retain weighted categorical distributions and prespecified joint
tables rather than reduce each country to one mean.

These data are not part of the current active results and are not redistributed
in the repository. Exact country-level questionnaire wording and translations
remain an open provenance item.
