Survey


Thank you very much for participating in my survey! The survey consists of 20 questions and should take no more than 5 minutes of your time.

Your answers are very important for my research on private sector involvement in US exchange rate policy. Understanding whether your company or organization has any interest in these issues, and what types of activities (if any) your company or organization takes to further its interests, will form a core part of my research.

Your survey responses will be kept strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can skip those questions or withdraw from the survey entirely at any point.

If you have questions about the survey or wish to see the results of the survey once it is completed, please contact me by email at [email protected].
