Experimental Design Details
We conduct a natural field experiment in the student dormitories at the University of Arizona. Our identification strategy relies on the quasi-random allocation of first-year students to a roommate for the duration of the academic year. Pairings of students from two high-income families, as well as from high- and low-income families exogenously arise. (See Analysis Plan)
