Create Experimental Economics Final

My analysis focuses on two factors integral to Kevin Arceneaux’s findings. First, I tested to see if random assignment was violated. This was done using an F-test to see if subjects’ age, race, income and other covariates were able to jointly predict treatment. The second extension seeks to verify Arceneaux’s claims on the effects of treatment. This was done using randomization inference to test the sharp null hypothesis that treatment effect is equal to zero for all subjects. In both cases, random assignment and treatment effect, my findings were in line with those in the paper.
