Methods & evidenceRCT
Financial Outcome Winsorization
Winsorization bounded weekly remittance amounts (control mean 2,338.50 PhP), stabilizing regression estimates across full sample (p = 0.81) and low-baseline subsample (+174.94 PhP, p < 0.05) specifications.
Economics (general)RCT
Extreme Value Top-Coding Truncation Protocol
Capping administrative distributions at the 99th percentile eliminated extreme hiring outliers, ensuring linear treatment effect estimates (+0.047 vacancies, +0.046 hires) reflected representative firm behavior across the sample.
