Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
Workers
For the first 300-500 workers we will use the following sample size
1) Daily payment*uninsured* 3 day contracts: 15%
2) Steep Back-loaded* uninsured * 3 day contracts: 15%
3) Smooth Back-loaded* uninsured * 3 day contracts: 20%
4) Steep Back-loaded* insured * 3 day contracts: 20%
5) Smooth Back-loaded* insured * 3 day contracts: 20%
6) Daily payment*insured* 3 day contracts: 10%
For the remaining 1300-1500 sample we will offer each worker two contracts, one of which will be a 3 day contract and other will be a 7 day contract. The break up of 3 day contracts will be the same as above and the breakup of 7 day contract sample is below:
1) Daily payment*uninsured* 7 day contracts: 15%
2) Steep Back-loaded* uninsured * 7 day contracts: 15%
3) Smooth Back-loaded* uninsured * 7 day contracts: 20%
4) Steep Back-loaded* insured * 7 day contracts: 20%
5) Smooth Back-loaded* insured * 7 day contracts: 20%
6) Daily payment*insured* 7 day contracts: 10%
Firms:
Each firm will be offered 12-16 different contracts, one of which will be randomly chosen and implemented.
