Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms Information treatment: Approximately 500 (since we employ a 2 x 2 cross randomization, with probability 1/4 in each cell). Altruism treatment: 1,333 in own landlord treatment (probability: 2/3), 667 in random landlord treatment (probability: 1/3) Information treatment: Approximately 500 (since we employ a 2 x 2 cross randomization, with probability 1/4 in each cell). Altruism treatment: approximately 1,333 in own landlord treatment (probability: 2/3), approximately 667 in random landlord treatment (probability: 1/3). Starting March 28, we randomize across three stakes with probability 1/3 each. Therefore, approximately 666 tenants will observe each value of the stakes.
Intervention (Hidden) We cross-randomize the provision of truthful information about: (i) the extent to which landlords evenly divided a gift card in the activity in #AEARCTR-0008053, (ii) the share of landlords who file an eviction (“FED Warrant”) and then settle or drop the eviction in Shelby County. In an altruism task, we randomize whether the opponent is the tenant's own landlord or a random landlord; details are provided in the Study Design document.
