Super interesting, and great to see this comparison. I’ll be particularly interested in seeing the results farther down the line, as other studies suggest that the effects of UBI tend to be fairly short-term.
For future write-ups in this forum, would it be possible to include mentions of the effect sizes directly in the write-up? They’re available in the results table that you linked to, but it’s nice to be able to easily see from the write-up that diet diversity increased by 4% (long-term UBI); 5% (short-term UBI), and 2% (large lump sum), in addition to the narrative about how
short-term UBI created more diet diversity: “[For consumption], the only significant difference is that there is more food variety in the short-term UBI than in lump sum…
Given that EAs tend to be numerate and interested in rigor, I think this would be helpful for understanding the results from the write-up directly. The difference between the three seems pretty minor, but you can’t get that from the phrasing of the narrative.
Regardless, great to see this research being done and I’m excited to see the future studies!
