Field
Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
We will start with a set of potential applicants for the jobs offered at Olam’s new factory, opening in the summer of 2020. They will be randomized into three groups:
- C – Control: job offered to the potential applicant
- T1 – Jobs in Network: job offered to the potential applicant + job offered to at least 2 members of the potential applicant’s network
- T2 – Cash in Network: job offered to the potential applicant + cash payments to at least 2 members of the potential applicant’s network
We will first survey potential applicants, primarily to elicit their redistributive network members, and inform them of their treatment assignment.
We will then survey their network members, and inform them of their treatment assignment (if any).
------------
* The design has been updated to include a second phase to the experiment. It is described in the document attached to this submission on March 16th, 2022.
* The design has been updated to include a third phase to the experiment. It is described in the document attached to this submission on July 21st, 2022.
