| Field Intervention (Public) | Before | After This study does not contain any specific interventions, as it is not directly attempting to change behaviours or policy. The study is comprised of an incentivised survey in two phases. The first phase is to collect actual data on beliefs of five distinct tribal groups in Uganda. The second phase involves a lab-in-the-field experimental design, focusing on one specific group (Gisu), asking a number of incentivised questions related to phase 1. The second phase will also collect data to enable the identification of the underlying mechanisms at work. The second phase also conducts an incentivised standard single shot public goods game using a community/wall street game frame across two treatments. All players will play the community and wall street game (order reversed for treatment two), but the first game will be actual and the second hypothetical, asking participants to imagine they are playing the other game. |
| Field Intervention Start Date | Before August 12, 2024 | After August 23, 2024 |
| Field Primary Outcomes (Explanation) | Before | After We will measure contributions, expectations and norms across both `actual' and `hypothetical' treatments. As there are two treatments, this enables an investigation into whether actual actions and be accurately predicted hypothetically in an incentive compatible way. This will be investigated for contributions, expectations and norms. |
| Field Experimental Design (Public) | Before Framed public good game, with two treatments: Wall Street / Community Game [actual] -> Community / Wall Street Game [hypothetical] | After Framed public good game, with two treatments: Wall Street / Community Game [actual] -> Community / Wall Street Game [hypothetical]. Further details included in explanations above. |
| Field Randomization Unit | Before Randomly selected at parish level, and then electoral register forms sampling frame. | After Sampling frame to be adopted as set out in the attached Pre Analysis Plan, though this will be refined during the pilot process. A sampling frame will be identified (either from electoral register or university/college enrolment records) and participants will be randomly selected and approached for participation. |
| Field Planned Number of Clusters | Before 300 Gisu participants | After 300 Gisu participants (though this may increase following reallocation of experimental resources following the completion of the pilot) |
| Field Planned Number of Observations | Before 3,000 | After 300 participants, each providing: one response for contributions, five responses for expectations and five responses for norms, doubled across two frames (community and wall street game). Thus, 300 x (1 + 5 + 5) x 2 = 6,600. |
| Field Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms | Before 300 participants, 10 observations per participant (participant is cluster) | After 300 participants, 22 observations per participant (participant is cluster), across three testing families: Family 1 - contributions, Family 2 - expectations and Family 3 - norms. |
| Field Power calculation: Minimum Detectable Effect Size for Main Outcomes | Before This depends on the specific hypothesis - please see power analysis in Appendix 2 of the attached pre-analysis plan. | After This depends on the specific hypothesis - please see power analysis in Appendix 2 of the attached pre-analysis plan. All specifications shown to be sufficiently powered with 300 participants (>80%). |
| Field Secondary Identifying Number(s) | Before | After N/a |
| Field Intervention (Hidden) | Before | After As above - nothing requiring embargo here. |
| Field Secondary Outcomes (End Points) | Before | After No specific secondary outcomes. Note, this experiment also includes another experiment registered separately on the AEA RCT Registry by the PI under "Pre-Analysis Plan: Social Norms, Values and Misperceptions". Phase 1 and the majority of Phase 2 is not relevant for this specific study. |
| Field Secondary Outcomes (Explanation) | Before | After No specific secondary outcomes. |
