Field experiments
10 important questions on Field experiments
What is: artefactual field experiment?
What is natural field xperiment
What is the conseqaWhat happens when the zero conditional mean assumption is violated
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What are 2 important topics when it comes to setting up and implementing a research design?
2. Sample size (tradeoff between power and cost)
Explain the simple interpretation of internal and external validity:
External validity: can we make the leap to other contexts?
Whats the purpose of a balancing table?
Provide the 4 alternative if full randomization is not possible
DS - control group dissappointed
2. phasing-in - everyone gets in but not at the same time, like people getting out of a train; wait your fking turn!
Or when they hand out free food somewhere and they yell; no need to push! There is enough for everyone!
DS no long term effects measurable
3. Within group randomization; in all groups some get trated some get control
DS potential pillovers
4.Encouragement design - incentivize treatment for some not for others
DS need a lot of whatever you are incentivizing them with
How does the concept of spillover affect my choice of choosing randomization at group or individual level?
Explain the difference between internal and external validity
External - How generalizable are these results (can we apply it to the larger whole?)
Explain the concept (and its relevance) "Intention to treat"
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
