Interviewer instructions
1) Size of informal payments/gifts Informal payments are payments made to government officials that are unaudited or unreported. They are generally given to an official with the expectation that a service will be performed (such as granting a business license), a violation overlooked (such as violation of health regulation), or because the official threatens the business.

Notice the wording (phrasing) of the question: it asks for the respondent to answer for establishments “like this one” rather than the establishment being interviewed.

2) Sensitive question, no clarification can be offered
Question post text
PROVIDE EITHER ONE OR THE OTHER, NOT BOTH j7a and j7b
