Methods & evidenceAttanasio Selection-Bias Decomposition FrameworkVirtual-Within interaction yields a statistically significant intensive quality increase among motivated Milestone 0 completers ($\beta = 0.138, p < 0.05$ in Large-Country Sample; $\beta = 0.427, p < 0.05$ in Uganda Sample). Under the BAS assumption, this observed conditional effect serves as a strict lower bound for the true unconditional quality impact.RCTLabour & employmentParticipation vs. Effort Elasticity (Extensive vs. Intensive Margin)Arc elasticity of labor participation (extensive margin) with respect to the piece rate is 0.58, whereas the elasticity of daily output quantity (intensive margin) with respect to the piece rate is only 0.06 (controlling for reservation rates).RCTLabour & employmentIntensive Margin Daily Labor Supply AdjustmentUrban educated men worked only 23.4 hours per week conditional on employment; acquiring 5 days of work experience increased labor supply on the intensive margin by 1 additional day worked per week on average (p < 0.10).RCTLabour & employmentIntensive Margin Dominance in Labor Supply AdjustmentA 1 million SEK prize reduces weekly working hours by 1.282 hours (3.9% reduction, p < 0.001) while monthly full-time equivalent wages fall by only 147.3 SEK (0.6% reduction, p = 0.080); reduced working hours account for 81% of the overall drop in wage earnings, whereas wage rate changes account for only 18%.RCTLabour & employmentNon-Linear Compensated Labor Supply ElasticityCompensated labor supply elasticity is highly elastic below 30 weekly work hours (exceeding 1.0), but becomes highly inelastic at 40 hours per week and above (dropping to 0.5–0.6).RCTBehaviour & psychologyReporting Intensity Dual-Margin DivergenceWhile tangible provider consequences reduced the overall probability of a patient filing a complaint by 7.4 to 10.3 percentage points (extensive margin), conditional on filing a complaint, patients increased complaint severity by sending 1.053 additional frowning cards in Peer Disclosure (p < 0.05) and 0.771 additional cards in Monetary Penalty (p < 0.05), representing a 33% to 44% increase over the control mean of 2.436 cards.RCT
