  We develop an experimentally validated, short and easy-to-use survey module
for measuring individual debt aversion. To this end, we first estimate debt
aversion on an individual level, using choice data from Meissner and Albrecht
(2022). This data also contains responses to a large set of debt aversion
survey items, consisting of existing items from the literature and novel items
developed for this study. Out of these, we identify a survey module comprising
two qualitative survey items to best predict debt aversion in the incentivized
experiment.
