SUMMARY:Stefano CARIA ( University of Warwick )   - "An Adaptive Targeted Field Experiment: Job Search Assistance for Refugees in Jordan "
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Microeconometrics Seminar: Every Tuesday \nTime: 03:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nDate: 8th of December 2020\nby visio\nStefano CARIA ( University of Warwick ) – “An Adaptive Targeted Field Experiment: Job Search Assistance for Refugees in Jordan ” \nAbstract: We introduce a novel adaptive targeted treatment assignment methodology for field experiments. Our Tempered Thompson Algorithm balances the goals of maximizing the precision of treatment effect estimates and maximizing the welfare of experimental participants. A hierarchical Bayesian model allows us to adaptively target treatments. We implement our methodology in Jordan\, testing policies to help Syrian refugees and local jobseekers to find work. The immediate employment impacts of a small cash grant\, information and psychological support are close to zero\, but targeting raises employment by 1 percentage-point (20%). After four months\, cash has a sizable effect on employment and earnings of Syrians. \n \nOrganizers:\n\nBenoît SCHMUTZ (Laboratoire de Microéconométrie-CREST)\nAnthony STRITTMATTER (Laboratoire de Microéconométrie-CREST)\nSponsors:\nCREST\n \n\n
