“No strings cash” for high school students: results from a randomized control trial

Jeff Murray

Providing some form of “no strings attached” money to low-income individuals and monitoring the results is a longstanding research protocol aimed at finding a tipping point at which people’s lives measurably improve. Compared to what? Often it’s a comparison with others who are given lesser amounts in randomized control trials.

Can ambitious education reforms boost political fortunes?

Aaron Churchill
