Addressing validity and generalizability concerns in field experiments
Riener, Gerhard; Schneider, Sebastian O.; Wagner, Valentin - 2020
In this paper, we systematically analyze the empirical importance of standard conditions for the validity and generalizability of field experiments: the internal and external overlap and unconfoundedness conditions. We experimentally varied the degree of overlap in disjoint sub-samples from a...
