A year ago I suggested the use of randomization to estimate the causal effects of the prize on the parameters of interest. In general, I’m surprised that the EA community (including EA orgs such as CFAR or 80k) doesn’t use randomization more. One of Jeff Kaufman’s policy proposals is to “randomize everything”, and I think this should be an EA policy as much as a government policy.
