Labour & employmentAbility-Heterogeneous Wage ReturnsTreatment effects are significantly concentrated among lower-ability workers (interaction coefficient = -0.171, p < 0.05 for employment proportion; -0.568, p < 0.05 for log daily wages). Job seekers at the 25th ability percentile experience a 25 percentage point employment increase and an $11.01 daily wage increase, compared to a 1.5 percentage point employment decline and $2.20 wage increase for those at the 75th percentile.RCTLabour & employmentEmployability-Driven Effect HeterogeneityFor job seekers with low employability (predicted median duration exceeding 6 months), assignment to an early integration agreement (month 1 or 3) increased the 1-year re-employment probability from 45% (month 6 reference group D) to 53% (group A) and 54% (group C) (p < 0.01), representing an 8 percentage point or 18% relative increase; for high-employability job seekers, early integration agreements had no statistically significant effect (82% vs 82–83%).RCTDevelopmentHeterogeneous Financial Strain ModerationWorkers with above-average baseline financial strain produced 0.5 additional leaf plates per hour (compared to 0.27 plates per hour across the full sample) and exhibited an 18.6 percentage point increase in high attentiveness following early payment. Workers with lower baseline strain experienced no statistically significant change in productivity or attentiveness.RCTLabour & employmentHeterogeneous Impact DisparityThe upper quartile of participants who benefited most from the program saw short-term earnings increase by 2.2 times the earnings gain experienced by participants in the lowest quartile.RCTLabour & employmentInternational Employer Experience PremiumThe wage returns from acquiring short-term work experience were significantly magnified for candidates with prior international employer experience, yielding an interaction coefficient of 1.731 on inverse hyperbolic sine daily wages (p < 0.05).RCTEconomics (general)Prior Criminal Risk Heterogeneity in Youth Employment OutcomesLow-risk youth (97% of the cohort) show precisely estimated zero effects for contemporaneous crime reduction, ruling out arrest decreases greater than 0.9 per 1,000 youth. Virtually all statistically significant reductions in summer arrests and convictions are concentrated in the 3% at-risk population.RCTFinance & microfinanceRisk-Aversion Heterogeneous Treatment EffectsThe grace period contract increased monthly profits for risk-averse clients (48.5% of the sample) by 92.0% (Rs 1,207.7 to Rs 1,543.6 higher profits, p < 0.05), whereas risk-loving clients experienced no statistically significant additional profit gain (interaction coefficient -Rs 1,243.5 to -Rs 1,557.9).RCT
